9 BOOKS I PLAN TO READ IN 2025

Tagged by @softest-punk 💖💖

This was a bit hard to narrow down because my TBR is SO LARGE and keeps growing as new books are released every year!

I'm going to keep it to books I haven't already started as well, since my currently reading list is also...very long lmao

Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf by C.L. Clark - THE ARCANE BRAINROT IS REAL. My wife, my toxic milf, the most unhinged warmongering bad bitch in all of Arcane is getting a spinoff novel how could I NOT read it??? I'm unhinged about her. I cannot wait to have my heart ripped out.

Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner - The final novel in the Godkiller trilogy. I'm so excited. I picked up Godkiller on a whim at Target and I've been unwell about the series ever since.

Vicious by V.E. Scwab - I've started and restarted this book like 10 times since 2013 when @lyriclorelei gifted it to me 😅. I am DETERMINED to read through the duology this year, I know I'm going to like it, I've loved every V.E. Scwab book I've ever gotten my hands on, and the premise of this book was basically made for me.

Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey - I imprinted on this book when I was 12. I would like to re-read it as an adult and see how it holds up!

The Pairing by Casey McQuiston - I meant to read this when it came out in 2024 but got understandably distracted by other novels. Nevertheless I am very excited to sink my teeth into yet another CM queer romance.

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske - Another book I meant to read in 2024. Can you tell I am a sucker for queer romance novels yet???

Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice - Now that the AMC show is leaning into TVL and QOTD for season 3, I must reread this chonker of a novel. It's tradition at this point. I reread Interview just before the premiere of season 1 and TVL right before the premiere of Season 2. I am so very excited to see the wild ride of season 3.

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro - Continuing my love of books that are getting adaptations, this novel is getting a movie in 2025 so it's time I finally read it.

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo - I keep getting recommended this book, and at this juncture I have no reason NOT to read it. I already love Nghi Vo's prose, and I'm a sucker for Hollywood fame dramas, AND this one has magical realism in it? Sign me the fuck up.

Honorable mentions to the books I'm currently in the middle of reading:

Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle

A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Scwab

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

The Nightmare before Kissmas by Sara Raasch (thanks @arialerendeair for the rec!)
