🍾Saturday's Series Spotlight🍾: Best of 2025 Part 1

Followers of my blog and reviews will have undoubtedly noticed by now that I am a huge series fan. I have narrowed it down to 10 series that I read at least one entry in 2025, some were newly released in 2025 and some were just new to me. They were all amazing and found a lasting place in my library and in my heart. I've listed them in no particular order.

👀I've included links to the original review postings below and I try to keep the purchasing links as current as possible but they've been known to change for dozens of reasons, in case any of those links no longer work be sure to check out the author's social media links for updated buying info.👀

🍾📎📚New-To-Me Authors 2025📚📎🍾

This was a new addition twoyears ago to my end of year "Best Of" lists. I am not ranking, favoring, or besting any of these authors as they are equally entertaining. I don't get to read new authors as much as I would like and there were only 4 new-to-me authors in 2025. The authors have all earned their spot on my Authors-To-Watch list and I look forward to checking out their backlists as well as all future stories. Hope you find a new-to-me author in this post as well.
