2025 reading list

Giving up on the TBR again, FFS. Setting a token goal of 60 for the year since I got to 63 last year.

Currently Reading

  1. Sherlock Holmes Complete Collection – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
  2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – J.K. Rowling
  3. The Fox Wife – Yangsze Choo

Series Challenge

If I cooperate with myself, this is going to be the year of the series catch-up. I currently have 37 series in my series-tracking database, only 15 of which are completely finished, though not all of them have been reviewed. It’s time to start knocking some of these puppies off the list. The top priority will be rereading Mirrored Heavens (Rebecca Roanhorse), Foul Lady Fortune (Chloe Gong), and the full Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling) so I can finally review them; I also really need to read the Radiant Emperor duology (Shelley Parker-Chan) this year. Mostly the goal is to stop saying, “Ooh, I’ve been meaning to read that!”

Series are listed alphabetically by title. Hyperlinked series titles lead to the review series pages; hyperlinked book titles lead to the individual reviews. Asterisks are rereads that still need to be reviewed. The Hunger Games is included because of the upcoming release of Sunrise on the Reaping, though I am otherwise up to date on the series. I don’t have a specific TBR goal, other than to finish as many of these as I can.

Updates

  • 2/4/25: I was enrolled in the Pocket Books Shop Five by Five in 2025 challenge for like a second, until I realized I don’t actually have as many hours in the day as I always think I do. I’d still encourage others to try it, though.
  • 3/4/25: I’m neurotic so books are getting crossed off the list as I review them just so it can look like I’m doing something because I actually am making progress but these reviews I’m writing won’t be published for months T_T
