"All of the top ten most-borrowed books in 2025 were written by women, with romance novels taking the first three spots on the list. "Onyx Storm" by romantasy author Rebecca Yarros claimed first place, and was borrowed more than 9,000 times this year, according to Melissa Andrews, BPL's Chief of Collection Management. Sarah J. Maas, another romantasy heavy-hitter, came in second for her book "A Court of Thorns and Roses.""
""The most-borrowed titles of 2025 span a mix of genres, settings, and storytelling styles, yet they share one clear thread: new releases from authors building stronger connections with readers." "This shows that readers continue to seek out stories offering both familiarity and connection, returning to worlds and voices they love while discovering something new that grows and evolves with them.""
