Becoming Disgustingly Well Read in 2026

Listen 🎧 friends! In 2026, Not only are we reading as many books as we can each month, we’re supporting independent bookstores 📚

I was able to pick up two of the books from my list from @readbetweenthelynes while I was traveling over the holidays.

When I got home, I reached out to @mvbabookstore — which has a special place in my heart — to order the rest for me.

I know I share a lot of Amazon links because it’s easy access for a lot of people, but when you can, look to see if there’s an independent store near you to support.

Love, light, and critical inquiry…

- Nicole
