With the end of the year fast approaching, tell us about your reading goals for 2026! Got a certain number of books you want to read? New genres? Any books you’re excited for? What about new book resolutions? Please feel free to share them here! I’ll start: I want to read at least 20 books this year. I want to try reading longer books, which has always intimidated me (800-1000 pages). Maybe try my hand at science fiction (mostly I’m a fantasy and horror girly). And the book I’m most excited to get my hands on is The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow!

I've seen this trend almost everywhere on booksta, so I thought I'd share it! What are the books you'd reread, rewrite, or burn? Here are mine:

📚 Reread: • The Jasad Crown - I loved this so so much and I'd reread it a hundred times if I could! • Blood Over Bright Haven - this was absolute perfection if you ask me. The themes, the writing, the characters, they were all amazing and I don't want or need to change anything about it.

🖊️ Rewrite: • Three Holidays and a Wedding - I loved the concept but there were so many inconsistencies that pulled me out of the story 😭 I think if this had better writing, I would've loved it much more!

🔥 Burn: • Powerless - the whole series. Sorry to all the Powerless lovers, this just wasn't for me. This book was marketed as enemies-to-lovers, but it felt more like flirting-rivals-to-lovers ngl 😭 the writing also bothered me and the extensive use of "ocean blue eyes," but that's just my opinion tho!

i’ve wanted to start making myself write reviews of the books i read for a while now, mostly just because i think taking a minute to personally reflect would make the books stick in my memory better (i have a sometimes frustratingly bad memory). but i’m not a very good writer of anything and i find myself getting anxious when i think about writing a review. i don’t know exactly why! i think maybe i’m a little self-conscious about not being able to articulate my thoughts well enough? or maybe i’m nervous to be discovered as someone who doesn’t think deeply enough abt what they read (secret fear) if i post my reviews somewhere public like PB? i don’t know exactly, but i want to write reviews, and i want to share my thoughts and discuss them with other people, i just get so nervous about it. does anyone else feel like this? does anyone have any tips for writing reviews or getting over this feeling? i feel untrained lol

Should we not post our reviews of their books or log them in at all? As all engagement = publicity. Or should we give low ratings the way a lot of folks do with JK Rowling given her views? Or should we rate the book on its merits and simply mention that the author is a zionist which is disgusting or something like that? What do you guys do for this?
