All the 2026 Aardvark book club picks






New Year, More Yearning
2026 Romance Releases






healing grief through fiction
books that discuss loss or losing a loved one






growing through grief
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)






2026 Romance Releases
Romance books coming out in 2026






in grief & love
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.
