I read 100 books in 2025. 51 were mysteries, 19 were historical fiction and 30 were graphic novels. When I looked back on the books that I read this year, I automatically knew which books would be in the top five. These books stayed in my mind all year. They were fantastic! It was difficult selecting the order of my top three. Any one of them could have been my number one. So, without further ado, here are my top ten books for 2025. Note that not all of them were published in 2025 but rather were read by me this year.
10) No Roast for the Weary by Cleo Coyle (cozy mystery)
9). Bad Lands by Preston and Child (mystery)
8). The Keeper of Lost Art by Laura Morelli (historical fiction)
7). Lincoln's Lady Spymaster by Gerri Willis (historical fiction)
6). The Master Jeweler by Weina Dai Randel (historical fiction)
5). Ginseng Roots by Craig Thompson (graphic novel)
4). The Story She Left Behind by Patti Callahan Henry (historical fiction)
3). The Retirement Plan by Sue Hincenburgs (mystery)
2). Butter by Asako Yuzuki (mystery)
And the number one book of the year is:
1) The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward (mystery, horror)
