I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction alike. I’m a big fan of memoirs, all the sciences and female authors💖

    I don’t know how to say this, without offending anyone hahaha but… I really don’t care about this book 😮‍💨 and it’s so sad because it’s been on my TBR for years and I wanted to read it so bad, I read amazing things about it and in my mind I thought “I’M GOING TO LOVE IT” and it’s not like I hate it, but so far I really don’t care about it 🤔 I feel like that can absolutely change, I’m still open to it and I’m enjoying enough not to DNF it (I also never DNF books so.. 😹), honestly I just need it to get more weird and disturbing because so far, it’s not weird and shocking enough to me (very little things actually shock me) haha but that’s very obviously a ME problem. 😹

    2026 nonfiction challenge

    I'm already planning my 2026 reads, and I decided to do an A-Z non-fiction challenge. I know a lot of folks have mentioned wanting to read more non-fiction, and if that's your goal for the next year, I suggest trying this challenge! Since 26 books (and non-fiction nonetheless) is a big feat, you can just do a list and select a book from there as you see fit, or if you want to add a little whimsy, put papers in a jar and select your book blindly. What I did was get all the dopamine from the get-go and open a random picker to plan my year.

    My recommendations for people who want to get started reading nonfiction are:

    • Start with memoirs or autobiographies. They are easy to read, feel like gossip or talking to a friend, and you can pick someone you already want to know more of. Paris by Paris Hilton was an incredible read.
    • You don't have to pick topics that you are not interested in. No one is better just because they read nonfiction, we are all readers and have different interests. There are no rules or expectations, it should be fun!
    • Doing a buddy read or being active on the forums allows you to digest the book, share your thoughts and socialize in PB, which can be a great motivator. I added Ten Tomatoes that Changed History because I'm getting FOMO from the Tomato Wars.
    • You can DNF at any time. Sometimes, the topic is interesting, but the writing style is not captivating. You can always find another option, this should not be a chore.

    Here are the non-fiction quests and side quests so you can learn and earn some badges:

    Here are some lists I have created or saved that might come in handy:

    I'm sure there's plenty more. Feel free to share your book/list recommendations in the comments, and let's learn something new this 2026!!
