I’ve been an avid reader all my life. Looking back, I wish I had started a reading list to track all of the titles I’ve had the pleasure of devouring. But I wasn’t so insightful in my youth.
For 2025, I decided to tackle a TBR – a To-Be-Read list of books I’ve had my eye on for awhile but just haven’t gotten around to. I did not set a specific number, as many readers online today do – preferring to just start with a list and add to it if time and interest permit.
So, for better or worse, here is my 2025 To Be Read List – feel free to suggest more titles if you have some you’ve loved!
- How to Be an Epicurean: The Ancient Art of Living Well – Catherine Wilson
- Atlas of Lost Cities: A Travel Guide to Abandoned and Forsaken Destinations – Aude de Tocqueville
- The Little Village of Book Lovers – Nina George
- King Solomon the Magus: Master of the Djinns and Occult Traditions of East and West – Claude Lecouteux
- The Origin of Satan: How Christians Demonized Jews, Pagans and Heretics – Elaine Pagels
- The Lost Pillars of Enoch: When Science and Religion Were One – Tobias Churton
- What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding – Kristin Newman
- Scandalous Women: The Lives and Loves of History’s Most Notorious Women – Elizabeth Kerri Mahon
- Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans – Dan Baum
- Old Ways, Old Secrets: Pagan Ireland: Myth * Landscape * Tradition – Jo Kerrigan
- Scottish Witchcraft: A Complete Guide to Authentic Folklore, Spells, and Magickal Tools – Barbara Meiklejohn-Free
- Murder Your Employer – Rupert Holmes
I should say, some of these are research books for writing projects, but I’ll let you guess which ones. 😉
