Historical romance did not die in 2025. It just stopped getting the spotlight.

This year I read historical romances that were funny, chaotic, tender, political, and yes, occasionally unhinged in the exact way I want my escapism to be. Dukes in disguise. American heiresses who are over it. A courtesan with amnesia. Time travel Jane Austen meta-nerdiness. A crumbling inn that turns into chaos. And that Lisa Kleypas emotional alchemy that makes you forget you were only planning to read one chapter and then finish the whole book in one sitting.

If you have been feeling like you never see historical romance recommended anymore, it is not because the books are not there. They are. They are just not always the ones getting pushed the hardest, so reader recs matter more than ever. Which is why I made my ranked list of the best historical romance books I read in 2025 and also filmed the full breakdown over on YouTube so you can hear exactly what worked for me, what surprised me, and what I would tell you to start with depending on your mood.

If you want your 2026 to feel less “panic scrolling” and more soft, organized main character, this Brittany Keller 2026 wall calendar is it. The artwork is so cute it basically counts as decor (camping + cozy vibes + pink skies??) and it’s the kind of calendar you actually want to look at every day aka the highest compliment. For me? It’ll be used for blog planning.

Santa bag wrapping, but make it Pinterest IRL 🎅🎁 I used a Santa Delivery cloth gift bag, topped it with an oversized red velvet bow, and finished it with a DIY monogram gift tag using a scrapbook cardstock initial (cute + no wasted scraps = holiday win). It’s festive, reusable, and looks like you tried way harder than you did.

Obsessed with this Santa Delivery cloth gift bag wrapping hack 🎅✨ I skipped the paper and dressed it up with a red velvet bow + a DIY initial gift tag I made from a cardstock scrapbooking letter (aka: the most satisfying use of scraps ever). It’s reusable, looks luxe, and takes like 30 seconds… my kind of holiday magic.

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKHalloween

Looking for the perfect eerie, witchy, Southern Gothic fantasy to curl up with this fall? 🍁 The House at Watch Hill by #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning is it.

Gothic mansion ✔️
Creepy small-town secrets ✔️
Red-eyed owls ✔️
A dangerously sexy Scottish groundskeeper ✔️

This urban fantasy came out last year, and I loved it then, but fall is the season to finally pick it up if you haven’t yet. It’s seductive, eerie, and packed with gothic atmosphere that will keep you turning pages (and maybe sleeping with the lights on).
