Books I’ve read in 2026

Throughout 2026, my reading list has been a thrilling journey through fantasy and adventure, especially immersing myself in the Crowns of Nyxia series by Rachel Reid. This series stood out with its intense heated rivalry and complex characters that kept me hooked from start to finish. I also enjoyed touching on works by other acclaimed authors like Carissa Broadbent, whose Shadowborn Duet offers a fascinating blend of dark fantasy and emotional depth. These reads have made my year rich with imagination and excitement. One thing I've noticed about books in this genre is their ability to merge intricate world-building with strong character development, which makes the stories feel more immersive. For anyone looking to get into new fantasy series this year, I highly recommend checking out the Crowns of Nyxia series and The Shadowborn Duet. Additionally, supporting authors recognized by reputable lists, such as The New York Times Bestselling Authors, adds confidence in the quality of content. These books also offer a chance to connect with vibrant fan communities online, which has enhanced my reading experience. If you're planning your reading list and enjoy explorations of magical realms, intense rivalries, and intricate plots, these titles are definitely worth considering. Happy reading!
