Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is a Freebie and since 2026 is fast approaching I'm looking through my lists and picking books I want to be sure to read. Here are 10 on my list for 2026.
1. The Berlin Letters by Katherine Reay - I have read and thoroughly enjoyed two books by this author and her more historical fiction/espionage books are really calling my name.
2 The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong - I meant to read this one right after it came out.
3. Kills Well With Others by Deanna Raybourn - I read and enjoyed the first book in this series and am very curious to see how the author develops the series.
4. Year One by Nora Roberts - I'm not much of a fantasy/scifi reader but I've thoroughly enjoyed everything Roberts has written so I figure I should give this trilogy a try.
5. The Girl Who Came Home by Hazel Gaynor - This author is one I've read quite a bit from and really enjoyed all her books but somehow I've never read this one.
6. The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst - I adored the first book in this world and am so excited to read this one.
7. Along the Infinite Sea by Beatriz Williams - I've read the first two books in the Schuyler Sisters trilogy and am really hoping to finish up in 2026.
8. The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell - This was the first book by Jewell that really caught my attention and somehow I've yet to read it.
9. A Happier Life by Kristy Woodson Harvey - I read and loved a book by this author last year and really loved it and this one has really been calling my name.
10. Killing Trail by Margaret Muzushima - This series is on book 10 I think and seems to keep getting stronger. I've had this one my shelf for years and 2026 seems like the year to read it.



I hope you like Killing Trail; I remember wishing the characters were better developed in that first one, but also seeing the potential in it for a really good series. And it's become one of my favorite mystery series. I just read #10 and loved it. :D
ReplyDeleteI've heard lots of good things about the first book in the world of Sarah Beth Durst. I am intrigued with this series.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of these are very interesting to me. I'm thinking that I will try the Muzushima series in the new year as well as the one by Paula Munier (also a special dog - bomb-sniffing I think). Looks like fun in 2026, right? Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou have several of my favorites here Julie Leoung, Deanna Raybourn, Margaret Mizushima, Nora Roberts - I've read all those. I have the Sarah Beth Durst on my TBR. I've read some Lisa Jewell but not that one. Happy reading!

I love thinking about the new year and what I might read. I see a few in here that call to me and most likely will read too in 2026. Year One is the one trilogy I passed by, maybe I thought at the time it was too much fantasy for me. Might have to relook!
ReplyDeleteSeveral on your list are on my list! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYear One was so good. It's more fantasy, but one of my favs by her.
