10. Shield of Sparrows, by Devney Perry
The thing you need to know about romantasy (and romance in general) is that the genre holds a lot of life lessons, most notably that today's enemy might be tomorrow's lover. Think about this the next time you go into battle. Shield of Sparrows is Entangled's lead for spring and comes complete with decorative sprayed edges (for a limited time). Said an anonymous reviewer on the Ingram order page: "The best read of 2025." The series is in development with Amazon MGM Studios.

First week out for We Can Do Hard Things from the Doyle siblings, plus Glennon's spouse Wambach. From Booklist: "The authors, who host the We Can Do Hard Things podcast, mine their audiences and friends to get a wide range of thoughts on 20 tough questions, including, Why am I like this? How do I let go? How do I do the hard thing? and What is the point?... The style is breezy, with blocks of text alternating with line drawings, quotes, and affirmations from a diverse group of thinkers. At 500 pages, it's an easy read that can be sampled depending on the reader's needs."
