It’s that time of year again when readerly types share our reading lists for the previous year. This year I hit my goal of a book a month, but other years have been sparse or utterly the opposite.

Remember to start where you are, read what you love, and don’t compare yourself to other readers.

• The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by Victoria Schwab
• A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
• Claimed by J.R. Ward
• Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
• The Witch Collector by Charissa Weaks
• A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
• Wild Scottish Knight by Tricia O’Malley
• City of Ruin by Charissa Weaks
• Playing Dirty by Amy Andrews
• Playing It Safe by Amy Andrews
• Playing It Tough by Amy Andrews
• Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach

My favorite discovery this year was The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by Victoria Schwab. Because it was such a highlight, I’ve started her The Fragile Threads of Power for 2025. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Amy Andrews’ Sydney Smoke series and hope she writes some related stories in that story universe.
