I can’t believe the first month of the year is almost over! With its end comes time to look forward to a new month of book releases. February has some pretty great new stuff to choose from, and I can’t wait to get my hands on so many of them. If you missed my list of January 2026 releases, you can find it HERE. Without further ado, here are 16 of my most anticipated February 2026 book releases (covers link to Goodreads):

Happy New Year! What better way is there to start off the year than looking back on accomplishments from 2025? Last year was a good one for the blog, and I read quite a few great books. Here’s a snapshot of how 2025 shaped up for me and the blog.

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.
This week’s theme is Goals for 2026. I managed to find 10 bookish things I’d like to accomplish this year. I hope these are all doable, but we’ll see…
Read More »This year is already off to a rough start. I’ve been sick with tonsillitis since last Tuesday, which is finally mostly better, and I started having car trouble over the weekend. That means I’ll be sitting at the mechanic all day today to (hopefully) get the problem diagnosed and fixed. Not to mention all of the unstable geopolitical nonsense of the last few days. It’s safe to say that I’m already over 2026 and its BS only five days into the new year. lol.
All that to say, this list is a little later than I’d usually like, and I promise I’ll begin working on my year in review for 2025 shortly. Things are just moving a little slow thanks to the randomness of life. Luckily, there are plenty of great books being published this month that’ll provide a great escape from the chaos. Without further ado, here are 15 of my most anticipated January 2026 book releases (covers link to Goodreads):

Hello, everyone! Today I have another year-end list of top books, my favorite books of 2025. I managed to narrow the list down to ten books this year despite most of my reading being new releases. So, the ones I’ve chosen are definitely the best of the best. 🙂 These are all 2025 releases that I’ve managed to read this year. You can find my favorite backlist books in another post here. So, be sure to check it out, as well. All of the covers link to Goodreads in case anything catches your eye…

I read all of these in 2025, but they were published prior to the beginning of the year. I’ll have a post with all of my favorite new 2025 releases sometime in the next couple of days.

Hello, everyone! It’s been a couple of years since I did this tag. So, I thought it would be perfect for a Christmas Eve post. I hope you are all having a great holiday so far. Thank you to Elli @ AceReader for creating this Modern Day Christmas Song Book Tag!
Read More »Happy (early) Thanksgiving to those of you in the United States (and anywhere else you may be celebrating)! 🦃 I did this Thanksgiving book tag in 2022, 2023, and 2024 and thought it’d be fun to continue the tradition with choices from books I’ve read this year. Thank you to Anna’s Book Nook for creating this tag!
I really love the Adam Binder series, and all of the characters have come to feel like family over the years. Redneck Revenant was a great foray back into that world. I enjoyed seeing how the characters had developed over the years, and dropping back into their lives for an exciting new adventure was a lot of fun.
I did not expect The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy to be my lowest rated book of the year. Unfortunately, the writing was not great, and the plot felt super repetitive and like nothing was happening. The characters also felt flat to me, and I wasn’t feeling the chemistry between them. 🤷♂️
I don’t re-read much, and there’s really not anything I can think of that I’d pick for this prompt this year.
The Raven Scholar is one of my favorite books of the year so far, and it had a great bird companion in it. So, this was naturally the first book that came to mind for this prompt. 🙂
I usually fall in love with books by Alexis Hall, but I could not wait for Looking for Group to be over. There was so much gaming lingo in this book that it overtook the story and made it hard for me to read and really connect with the characters.
Good Spirits was a wonderful holiday romance starring the ghost of Christmas past and the woman he waited over 100 years for. It definitely put me in a mushy mood and filled me with holiday spirit.
I know this cover isn’t completely white, but the background is. So, it counts. lol. I just recently finished Spellslinger and had such a great time with it. I want a grumpy squirrel cat SO BAD and can’t wait to pick up the next book in the series.
The Works of Vermin by Hiron Ennes is another pick that I recently read. This was such a weird story, and I’m not really that big a fan of bugs. So, I’m not quite sure why I loved this one so much. lol.
I never know how to answer this prompt. One year I picked a book that was sickeningly sweet. Another year, I chose a book that was a guilty pleasure. Last year I picked a prequel novella that worked as a great extra tacked on to the main story. This year I’ve decided to pick A Burning in the Bones because it was a stellar finale to the trilogy, kind of like a dessert is the delicious end to a meal.
There’s nothing that I can think of for this prompt because I buy anything I really want year-round. lol. I have no self-control, which my shelves do not thank me for.
Anyone who wants to participate. So, if you’re bored, feel free to have some fun and consider yourself tagged. Otherwise, bookmark it until next year!
That’s it for this year’s Thanksgiving book tag! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of good food and great times.
It is time again to look forward to another month of book releases. Thankfully, December seems like it will be a light month for me. There aren’t a ton of books releasing that I feel I must get my hands on. If you missed my post about November’s many releases, be sure to check it out here! Without further ado, here are 8 of my most anticipated December 2025 book releases (covers link to Goodreads):
