Many years ago (when I was on blogger) I recorded all the books I read each year (from memory, I sat around 140ish on average I think – can’t imagine I read that much now my free time is much less). That information is long gone, but I thought I might start it up again. Here is the first book I’ve read for 2025…
- The Grim Reaper Gaffe (#15 Charlie Rhodes) by Amanda M Lee
Ironically my first book is the last book in this series. Amanda M Lee writes paranormal cozy mysteries – characters cross over between series, and while I don’t read all the series, I am reading a number of them so you’ll probably see more by this author in my list by the end of the year.
It all comes down to this.
Charlie Rhodes has come a long way.
She started out as a young woman trying to find a reason for her magic, going as far as to hide in the one place they were looking for her.
Now the final battle is here.
Charlie is in Detroit, surrounded by new faces, and looking for the final piece of the puzzle. Between the reapers, zombies, mages, brujas, loas, and gods, she has her hands full. Death is barreling toward her and taking no prisoners.
Sybil wants to kill her to prolong her life. Charlie just wants to be free to live hers.
This war has always been written in the stars. Now it’s finally here. Who will win?
What is the first book you’ve read/are reading this year?

A perfectly themed book to start the year!

When I was a teen I kept a list of all the books I read. I haven’t done that since, though. Maybe I’ll take it back up. Looks like an interesting book. (I don’t know what the first book I read this year was. I just finished a series of four books, but I was reading something else before that.)

Oh, to have your time to read! I’m very much a list person, so I’m kind of surprised I didn’t think of doing it as a kid.
