Books I’ve Read in 2026

items Currently aiming for 26 books in 2026. Here's what I've read so far! I love thrillers, mysteries, romance, comedy, YA, fantasy, etc.
2.5 stars from me! I know this is a YA novel, but it felt more juvenile than I expected. That being said, it didn’t stop me from flying through it once it got moving. It felt like watching an episode of Scooby Doo. I liked the characters and the over...
Let's Split Up (Let's Split Up #1)
2.5 ⭐️. Interesting premise, kept me curious, but I still felt like I wanted more. Generally, this was an easy read and I did like it.
A weird thing that bothered me was the fact that they had to keep their hands blue for weeks… this took me out of...
Secrets of the Blue Hand Girls (Deluxe Edition)
Quick read, definitely more for tried and true Josie Quinn universe fans as it gives us so much depth and development for Turner (which I liked!).
Without giving too much away, the beginning of the book made me think we would be getting more than w...
Stolen Family: Nail-Biting Crime Thriller
This had me in such a reading slump… I almost didn’t finish it. It picked up towards the end but there were lots of unlikable characters, so many names to keep track of, and I wasn’t really invested in any of them.
The Other Half: A Novel (Detective Caius)
As a horror/rom-com lover myself, I related to Jamie in some ways (only in the very beginning though obviously). This is a fun genre to turn into a book and it was a quick, predictable (in a good way), twisty, visual thriller. I liked all of the movi...
How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates: A Novel
I loved this! Super quick read, finished it in a day! A modern variation of “and then there were none” but with plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing, right up to the end. I found myself not ready for it to end, somehow wanting more.
I wei...
The Ending Writes Itself: Debut Mystery
I really liked this! Quick YA read, interesting characters, and very visual. I almost felt like I was in the escape rooms myself. If you’re a fan of The Inheritance Games, this has a similar vibe. The ending though?! Ugh can’t wait to read more.
The Escape Game
I liked the overall concept here and the start of the book was very promising; the deep fakes/“seeing” how you die and then the murders started. That being said, I expected more and the reasoning behind the kills was surprising and a little flat to m...
Dead Fake: A Bleak Haven Novel
Unfortunately (and unintentionally) I read the second book first but that didn’t hinder the reading experience. I actually loved going backwards to learn more about Sam and Percy. This book is about love and loss and growing up and was a total beach ...
Every Summer After
I love the Briar universe and these characters so much. This was a bit of a departure from the others but I didn’t mind it. It was nice to see Tucker’s story finally come to fruition. A cheesy and quick read, as usual!
The Goal (Off-Campus Book 4)
Night Terror: A Bleak Haven Novel
I’ve been looking for another detective to read while I patiently wait for the next the Josie Quinn book and this was perfect! This was a fast paced thriller. I really like Ellie (and Derek and Cord, honestly) and felt like it had good pacing and dev...
The Silent Dolls: Gripping Mystery Thriller
I love my monthly delivery!!
