2025 Most Anticipated Reads pt 1

 

The new year is a little over two weeks away, and I cannot decide if I'm ready for a new year. On the one hand, this year hasn't exactly felt like it's flown by, but a couple of months definitely felt shorter than they should have been. Either way, it feels a little early to be thinking about the books I'm excited to be released in 2025. Maybe that's because I had to re-do my shelves this Fall and now I'm very aware of the number of unread books I own. Only to turn around and already about probably two, maybe even three, dozen more to my Goodreads list. It's a good thing there isn't an exploration date on ready books. I have enough anxiety with adult stuff, I don't need extra in my reading list. 

Yes, this is part one of three, I've broken it down in months because some books haven't been announced yet (or don't get a huge lead time for pre-orders as others), and I didn't want to miss something about allowing for the whole year. So these are eight of the books I'm really excited to read that are being released between January and April of 2025. Two of which are by two of my favorite authors, Tanya Huff and Alex Grecian. Huff wrote probably the only paranormal romance series (the Vicki Nelson series) I've read from start to finish and didn't give up way through. Mostly because Henry Fitzroy is without a doubt one of the loves of life. No, I will not be taking questions about that at this time. As for Grecian, he wrote one of my favorite murder mystery series (The Scotland Yard Murder Squad series) that I still need to go back and re-read because it was so good! 

So those two are at the top of my list of things I need to own, right now would be great, but I guess I can wait until their published, if I must. Everything tickled my fancy in other ways from content (Story of Murder) to weird non-fiction (PsudeoScience), to an absolute baller of a book that combines one of my favorite shows growing up and cozy murder mysteries (Murder by Cheesecake). 

Next year is gearing up to be a great year in books being released from a wide variety of genres and for a lot of people. Even a new Hunger Games book is hitting shelves in 2025! So while I cannot wait to get these books on my shelf, and eventually in my hands, I also cannot wait to see what the rest of the year has in store. Because of the fact I'm getting another Tanya Huff release and Alex Grecian and a Golden Girls cozy murder mystery, all in the first few months. I'm not sure my nerdy little soul is ready.

HAPPY READING!!
