I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. I've been thinking a little bit about my reading for 2026. I read and enjoy a lot of series and my list is constantly expanding. Here are 5 I'm hoping to have on my list for 2026.
1. The Noodle Shop Mystery by Vivien Chien - I have read 2 books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed them. It's definitely a world I want to spend more time in and it's full of characters I'd like to get to know a bit better.
2. Belles of London by Mimi Matthews - This is only a 4 book series and I've already read 1 (well 2 - but I want to reread that one so I'm not counting it) but I really enjoyed the story I read and want to read the rest.
3. Amelia Peabody Mysteries by Elizabeth Peters - Barbara Michaels is one of my absolute favorite authors but I haven't read many of her books under the Elizabeth Peters name and only a couple of books in her super long running Amelia Peabody series.
4. Sebastian St. Cyr by C.S. Harris - I have loved the most recent books in this series and am really looking forward to reading it from the beginning.
5. Ghost Hunters by Jayne Castle - I'm still not entirely sure what I think of this series - or where it really starts - but I'd like to read more so I can make up my mind!
Are you a series reader? What series are you hoping to read in 2026?
Good luck with trying these series or continuing them! I will say I encourage you to explore the Amelia Peabody series and also other books by Elizabeth Peters. This persona of hers is a bit different than her 'Barbara Michaels' persona. :-)
ReplyDeleteChien's mysteries are fun. And I do love C.S. Harris' Sebastien St. Cyr novels. Happy reading these. :D
ReplyDeleteI've read all the Amelia Peabody and want to read all the Sebastian St. Cyr.

I do love the Vivien Chien series. I'm hoping to read more of it too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to think about series you might and probably will get into in 2026. They all look like you.
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage cover of the Peters book. ☺
ReplyDeleteI think between $1.99 ebook sales and ARCs I have all of the Red Rising Saga. I should at least read the first one, ha ha. ☺
Have you read the Jackaby books? I have the first three as ebooks because a few bloggers told me they are mysteries I might like because they are a Doctor Who/Sherlock Holmes type hybrid. I should read the first of that series, too! ☺
I am reading Mimi Matthews newest series and enjoying it. She was a new to me author.
