2025 Year in Reading

This was a good reading year for me. I feel like I read a lot of what I wanted, a lot that was recommended, and a lot for Cozy Mystery Book Club.

I read 182 books total (with a goal of 110), which blows my mind, honestly. Some years it's a struggle to hit 100, but this year I got sucked into a few series so reading all of those definitely upped my numbers.


I'm keeping my goal at 110 just because... why change a good thing? I'm also hoping to shift some priorities this year so more of my free time will be spent writing instead of reading... But we'll see how that turns out. Clearly reading instead of scrolling worked well for me, so maybe I should just stick with that for my mental health.

I also did a book bracket this year, and I'd like to do one next year, too. It was fun to sit and think about my favorite book each month. Some were clear standouts, but some were really close and I had to think hard about it. Here's my finalized bracket:

And the winner is...

Seriously, READ THIS BOOK if you haven't yet!
