Hi friends! In this video I’m sharing the 10 books I’m most excited (and a little unwell) to finally read in 2026. This is very much a “shop my shelves” moment—these are books I already own that have been sitting on my TBR giving me the side-eye. I pulled a mix of fantasy, romance, literary fiction, and mystery, and it quickly turned into a super chatty recommendation-style video where I’m basically yearn-yapping about vibes, premises, and what I’m hoping each story gives me. I talk through why each pick made the list—whether it’s because BookTube/BookTok hype got to me, the synopsis sounds like my exact brand of cozy chaos, or I just know it’ll scratch a specific mood. You’ll hear me bounce between comfort reads and bigger, more immersive fantasies, plus a few titles that feel like they’ll emotionally ruin me in the best way. The takeaway: if you’re building a 2026 TBR (or honestly a 2025 one), you’ll leave with a stack of ideas across genres—and permission to be both intentional and completely chaotic about it.
