Are you looking to add to your TBR or curious what someone else reads in a year? Then this list is for you! This is every book I read in 2026 alongwith my genuine thoughts and feelings about each one! I switch between several genres, including but not limited to fantasy, mystery/thriller, romance, historical fiction, and horror! I also read both novels and manga so there might be several volumes from the same manga series, but I highly recommend checking them out! Use this list for recs on what books you might be interested in (or what books you want to steer clear of! no judgement!) I'll update as the year goes on, so check back!!!

Whether you're looking to add to your TBR or just curious about what others read in a year, take a dive into my 2025 reads with my genuine thoughts and feelings about each one!

Looking to explore queer and trans stories? Then I've got the reads for you! Whether told through essays in a memoir, woven into fictitious characters and an intricate story, or told alongwith stunning art, these queer stories exhibit the reality and intimacy of queerness. Each recommendation contains a short description of the book as well as my brief, honest thoughts on it.

If you're looking for new and upcoming books to give a chance, this list is for you! These are all the Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) that I have read and my genuine opinions on them to help you decide if they are the right read for you! I do try to give longer reviews on this list to really address anything I think people will either like or not like in a book! Thank you to NetGalley and all of the publishers who provide these books for review consideration! All opinions are my own.
