Top Ten Tuesday - My Ten Bookish Goals for 2026


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 Goals for 2026.  I'm focusing on my Bookish Goals for the year.


1.  Read 175 Books - I may change this back to 200 depending on how the reading is going by the end of the first quarter but I'm trying to focus on fun and not put arbitrary pressure on myself.

2.  Complete the Read Christie Challenge - This year the theme is Favorites/Best so it's a fantastic list of books.  I've already read the January pick which was on the list for Best Opening - The Body in the Library

3.  Read all the Books on my 2026 Priority List - I've picked 5 library books and 5 books from my shelves that I've been wanting to read and am focusing on getting them read.

4.  Read a book from each of the Authors I Plan to Read in 2026 list - Last year this list had me reading some fantastic books that I really loved so I'm excited to read some new authors this year.

5.  Read all the books on my Classic Mystery list - This year I'm mixing some favorite authors in my Classic Mystery list so it's a mix I'm really looking forward to reading.


6.  Make Progress on 10 series - and Finish 1 - I'm hoping to make some more substantial progress in my cozy series than I did last year and I definitely want to finish at least 1 so I can move more series in.

7.  Read 5 Overdue Review Books - I'm trying to make progress on my NetGalley shelf and so far I'm doing good but still need to make a bit more progress.

8.  Read 5 Nonfiction Books - I have 1 nonfiction book on my priority list and Read Christie has Christie's autobiography on the list so I need to come up with at least 3 more.

9.  Finish all the 2026 ARCs that I've Received - The last few years I've really focused on not having any new overdue review books and that's really helped keep my list from getting even more unmanageable.  I want to make sure I don't add to that list this year as well.

10.  Read 5 Books from my TBR Jar - I really enjoy an element of randomness to my reading and loved using my TBR jar last year.  I just have to decide if this includes both my regular TBR jar AND my audio TBR jar or just the regular one.  Decisions, decisions!

What are your goals for 2026?
