✨Let’s Read!✨

I’ve always struggled with an ever-growing TBR (To Be Read) pile, and setting a goal to read 50 books in a year sounds ambitious but totally doable. What really motivated me is picking standout books that inspire me to dive in right away—like starting with "Legendborn" but getting hooked by "Ring Shout" instead. It’s those captivating stories that pull you off the sidelines! This year’s list includes a rich mix of genres and authors like Ayana Gray, S.A. Cosby, J. R. Mason, R.F. Kuang, and Brandon Sanderson. From epic fantasies with spells and monsters to gritty thrillers and heartfelt novels, the variety keeps reading fresh and exciting. Having well-reviewed and award-winning books lined up breaks the monotony, making the goal feel less like a chore and more like a thrilling quest. Moreover, it’s been helpful to embrace flexibility. Instead of rigidly following my original TBR order, I listen to what feels right on the day. Sometimes a book just calls out to you, and that spontaneity keeps the momentum going. And sharing progress and recommendations with a community committed to #readreadread and #newbooks adds accountability and new discoveries! If you’re tackling your TBR too, here’s my advice: pick a tangible number, mix your favorites with new finds, and don’t stress if you switch titles mid-way. Let books surprise you. After all, reading should be a joy, not a race. What’s on your 2026 reading list?
