This is a list of the 12 physical books (and more) I want to read in 2026. I’m doing a NO BUY BOOK year so everything on this list I already own
Next in the series! I really enjoyed book 3, especially near the end so I’m excited to get into this one
Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, 4)
Everyone on Tiktok Raves about this one
One Dark Window (The Shepherd King, #1) by Rachel Gillig

After I read the synopsis of this I knew I had to read it
