📚 Every Book I’ve Read in 2026 (35 Books So Far!)

As an avid reader, I've found that exploring a wide range of genres truly enriches my reading experience. This year alone, diving into series such as the Jareau Family by Kimberly Brown and the Rise & Fall Haven series by A.E. Valdez and J.L. Seegars has given me a wonderful mix of romance, suspense, and heartfelt storytelling. I particularly enjoyed how the Jareau Family series offered an engaging blend of wedding stories and emotional connections that made each book hard to put down. Meanwhile, the Rise & Fall Haven series stood out for its complex characters and gripping plot twists that kept me hooked from start to finish. I also found the Grown & Sexy Curve Series by Danielle Allen and Robbi Renee to be a refreshing take on plus-size romance with stories that felt authentic and empowering. In addition to series, standalone novels like "Whispers of the Lake" by Shanora Williams and "The Defense" by Steve Cavanagh provided captivating narratives that challenged my thinking and stirred deep emotions. Books like "So Many Feelings" and "My Husband’s Wife" brought intense psychological drama, which I highly recommend for thriller enthusiasts. Through this journey, I realized that keeping a diverse reading list not only broadens my literary horizons but also helps me appreciate different writing styles and cultural perspectives. Sharing my reading log with fellow book lovers has sparked countless recommendations and insightful discussions, making my reading experience even more fulfilling. If you’re looking to expand your bookshelf, I suggest exploring some of these titles and series. Feel free to share your favorites or suggest what I should add to my TBR list next! Happy reading!
