As the year draws to a close, we wanted to celebrate the class of 2025 one more time. In our tenth year as a publishing house, we:
π Added two new titles to our bestselling One 'n Done series - Tales from the Scrapyard by Nicole Zamlout & The Heart Decided to Move by Melanie Bell. Both of these titles continued the tradition of the series: incredible stories of epic proportions filled with heart, humor, and universal stories wrapped up in a pocket-sized package. Tales is a fantasy story while Heart is a memoir, but both incorporate mixed media poetry in a way that reinvents the quest for self.
π Brought Samantha Mann's newest work, D**e Delusions: Essays & Observations, into the world. This is our 3rd collaboration with Sam Mann and to publish it within our 10th year was a gift and a privilege. It's a beautiful collection of essays centering the body, gender, queerness, and sexuality. The essays mix personal story and research in that signature style that made us love Samantha Mann's work that very first title ago (Putting Out: Essays on Otherness).
π Closed out our Life in the Garden State trilogy with Disco Fries & Scenic Drives. It's a bittersweet moment for us, but we're proud to have gotten this far celebrating our home state and all of its talent. We were able to bring in earlier contributors and brand new ones, creating yet another fantastic view of New Jersey.
Thank you to everyone who supported us, supported our authors, bought books, read books, talked about our books, and simply celebrated the community magic that accompanies books and reading.
We hope to continue to bring this magic into 2026. From all of us at Read Furiously, we wish you a safe, happy new year filled with great reads!
