FIRST 2026 BOOK HAUL
What were your first book purchases of the year 🤭
Starting the year with a fresh batch of books always feels rewarding, especially when they span genres like dystopian and fantasy that keep you hooked from start to finish. Among my recent purchases, 'Don't Let the Forest In' caught my eye with its captivating premise of survival and mystery woven through an eerie forest setting. It’s a perfect read for those looking for suspense blended with a touch of supernatural elements. Pierce Brown’s 'Red Rising' is another standout on my list. It's a gripping dystopian saga full of political intrigue, rebellion, and complex characters. Having read the first few chapters, I can attest to the intense world-building and rich storytelling that fans of the genre will appreciate. Additionally, 'Rain of Shadows and Endings' by Melissa K Roehrich is an exciting fantasy novel that explores themes of destiny and sacrifice. The dynamic characters and imaginative world provide a fresh take on classic fantasy tropes. If you’re like me and enjoy diving into stories that challenge and entertain equally, these picks are excellent starters for your 2026 reading journey. Sharing book hauls not only keeps me motivated to read more but also opens up recommendations within the book community. What have you added to your TBR so far this year? I'd love to hear your recommendations too!
