Ashley's Book Corner

A few years ago, one of my New Years Resolutions for the was to read more and rediscover my love for reading. I started sharing my progress here as I make my way through my TBR list and apparently even inspired some of you to pick up some of these books or ones that had been sitting on your shelf! Although the initial
"new year" that inspired the challenge is over, I am NOT ready to stop reading, so this will be a space for me to keep sharing my reading with everyone. Below you can find archive galleries of previous years as well as my current reading list for whatever year we are in. I've also started a GoodReads account, so feel free to follow me there as well!

Books of 2025

Richard Osman had written another witty, intriguing, and thrilling mystery novel with just the right amount of timelessness, nostalgia, and modern influence.

I really enjoyed the new characters Osman brought to life in We Solve Murders. It was an interesting story with both larger than life and all too real characters - whatever you prefer. All in all, a great book! I think it ended in a great place leaving me excited for what other adventures our heroes are going to get into. Definitely would recommend for any classic mystery lovers!

Each time I read one of Diana Gabaldon's books (which thus far is only two times) I am thoroughly impressed by how much I enjoy her attention to detail, whimsy, and sense of storytelling. Dragonfly In Amber was a fantastic follow up to the iconic Outlander.

I am usually hesitant when reading books after I've already found their TV adaptations so enjoyable, but these books so far truly stand on their own and have been incredibly enjoyable to read. In some cases, I find them preferable to the screen adaptation!
