2025 Reading List 2025 Reading List Check back as I update this reading list often! Just about every week, I add new books I’ve accepted for review or titles I can’t resist, as well as a few backlist titles squeezed in where I can. I also update the list to include links to my reviews as they go live.
This list includes some backlist titles that I’ve read recently and plan to post reviews for this year.
For the last few years, I’ve been breaking my reading list down into categories. Click one of the headings below to go directly to my reading list in that category.
