Hi, friends! This video is truly my “ultimate book video” moment: a super chatty, cozy catch-up where I walk you through a fresh book haul, flip through my 2026 reading journal plans, and do a little reset that includes reorganizing my shelves. I’m basically doing what I always do when I’m excited about upcoming releases—yapping, yearning, and trying to make sense of my TBR chaos in real time. If you love the mix of fantasy, romance, and contemporary (with a sprinkle of BookTube/BookTok buzz), you’re in the right place. A big theme here is how I pick what I read next: I’m always looking for reviews and early impressions, but I also want that personal “does this feel like me right now?” spark. I talk through the books I’ve picked up recently—like Tailored Realities, The Tainted Cup, Phantasma, and more—and what I’m hoping they’ll deliver vibe-wise. And because I can’t help myself, I also get into 2026 reading goals and journaling as a way to keep reading fun while still feeling intentional. Expect recommendations, hype, honest curiosity, and a TBR that is… thriving (derogatory).
