Here we are with my 2025 Books Read post. I started it a little later than usual this year because it took me a while to finish that first book.
If you haven't been following along all these years, here's how this post goes. The books I read are in reverse order - newest first. * means ebook. # means 'new to me and underappreciated'. If there's a number at the end, it's where the book's at in a series. The links go to Goodreads where I may or may not have written a review. (Check back on Saturdays for my weekly Reading Wrap-up to see reviews.)
I set my goal for this year's reading at 70. We'll see how that goes.
Okay, with that out of the way, let's begin...
7) The Ebony Swan by Phyllis Whitney (4/1/25) - romantic suspense
6) The Riddle-Master of Hed by Patricia McKillip (3/29/25) - fantasy
5) Murder by the Letter by Lisa Pevey (3/27/25) - cozy mystery*
4) Some Buried Caesar by Rex Stout (3/26/25) - noir crime
3) Moonstruck: Retribution by Silver James (3/20/25) - paranormal romantic suspense*
2) President Fu Manchu by Sax Rohmer (3/14/25) - noir crime
1) Child Star by Shirley Temple Black (1/8/25) - autobiography
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this reading journey with me.
I set my goal at 200, always adjustable but it's what I average. According to GR, I'm behind schedule, having only finished 2 books so far. Life, don'cha know. That and finding a book that holds my attention. That's been hard this year. I read NIGHT PLEASURES and NIGHT EMBRACE by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Went old skool. Sadly, interest petered out before the 4th book (1st book finished on 12/30). Currently struggling with THE SERPENT AND THE WOLF and WITCH WORLD. The 1st is from the library. Long story on why I started it in the middle of another book. Anyway, I actually haven't touched either of them in two days. Ack. I need a great book to catch my attention!
ReplyDeleteCheers to better reading times for us both.
Here's to a great reading year! You'll find the right book to read that'll spark your need to read. I need to find the right book, too, because nothing sounds good right now. Bummer.
