I had a pretty good reading year. I met my goal of 30 fiction books. I probably read a few more, but I didn’t keep track. My goal for 2025 is 36. That’s ambitious because I’m a fast writer, but a slow reader and most of my daily reading is nonfiction. Anyway, this is how it went.

I’m almost done with my first book of 2025 which is a pageturning mystery set in the Georgia lowcountry complete with rich and accurate (’cause I be knowin’) Gullah-Geechie history by Wanda M. Morris titled What You Leave Behind. It’s already 5 stars. I have hardcover and the audio. Joneice Abbott-Pratt’s narration is just

Have you read anything on my lists? Have I shared anything you’re interested in for 2025?

What are you reading? Do you have a reading goal for 2025?
