In this video I’m doing one of my favorite things: building an anticipated new releases TBR for 2026 and actually talking through what I think is worth the hype. I go genre by genre—literary and contemporary, thrillers, historical fiction, and the kind of book club picks that are perfect when you want something bingeable but still discussion-worthy. Basically, it’s me staring at my never-ending TBR and asking, “Okay… what books should we read next?” I also share how I approach planning a “strategic” TBR (because yes, I love a mood read, but I also love having a plan). I’m pulling in buzzy titles and series continuations, plus a few that feel like they’ll be everywhere—especially if you’re on BookTok or you like staying ahead of release day. If you’re trying to map out your 2026 reading life, want fresh book club ideas, or you just love hearing someone talk through new releases like it’s a sport, this one is for you.
