A few of the series that I hope to read this year include The Amish Quiltmaker series by Jennifer Beckstand, Indigo Teashop mysteries by Laura Childs, Cleo Coyle's Coffeehouse mysteries as well as the spy thrillers written by James Rollins, Brad Thor and Dan Silva. It would be nice to see a new cozy mystery from Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles series and Lucy Connelly's Scottish Isles Mysteries. I am also working my way through Charles Finch's Charles Lenox Mysteries and the Deep Dish Mysteries by Mindy Quigley. In addition I expect that Alaina Urquhart, Nathan Dylan Goodwin and Gary McAvoy will publish new books in 2025.
1. The challenge will run from January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. Books must be read during this time frame to count.
2. Series can be already completed as well as still ongoing series, the goal is to catch up to the most recent book published by the end of 2025.
3. It doesn’t matter if you have only 1 book or 10 books to read in order to finish your series, as long as you’ve started the series before 2025 (i.e., read at least one book in the series), it counts. Rereads are not required.
4. Any format and length of book counts (print, ebook, audio, etc.)
5. Crossovers from other challenges are totally acceptable!
6. Reviews are not required, but highly encouraged.
