All the 2026 Aardvark book club picks

2026 Romance Releases

non-lit fic books that made my heart ache from how they perfectly captured some specific aspect of the grieving process in a way that deeply resonated w me (w/out being too depressing to cause actual emotional damage, hence the lack of lit fic)

books that discuss loss or losing a loved one

Romance books coming out in 2026

Also known as The Bastone Effect (trademark pending lol) 😉 Promise Me Sunshine was one of the most recommended romances in 2025 and I believe it's because of the unique combination of love and grief. Here of some of my favorites. Recommendations are welcome in the comments but I will keep the list to ones I've read.

there is a lot of fantasy here because fantasy just feels like fall to me 😭🙏

August 2026 romance releases. Please suggest books that I missed in the comments. No AI please, if I mistakenly add a book that was written with AI or has a AI cover please tell me.
