What gets you hyped for reading?

Is it a new release? The weather? Libby hold coming in?

Mine is the weather. I see it raining and I grab my book. Crack the window and make tea. The best time to read a book for sure.

With the new year approaching and the 2026 reading goals all over my pb feed, I wondered : What books do you absolutely want to read in 2026? and what are your bookish new year resolutions? 😄

For 2026 I want read :

• Children of Blood and Bone trilogy by Tomi Adeyemi ( it’s time! )
• The Bloodsworn Series by John Gwynne ( I just know it’s epic )
• Deep Waters series by Emma Hamm ( those covers convinced me 😮‍💨)
• The Daevadad Trilogy ( apparently it’s criminally underrated )
• The Spear Cut Through Water by Simon Jimenez

And I have only 3 resolutions :

• read less but with more mindfulness
• start reading history books
• go get a library card!

What about yall? 😄✨

“Anna, please, let me come to your rescue. Don’t push me away. You need me.”

Go hug a landmine, Nick.

Ugh, everyone!

My furnace broke tonight and so I guess I’m just going to wear layers and read some gothic literature. I think it’s so fitting. This reminds me of when I lived in Vermont and one bad thing or another happened.

Send calm and soothing thoughts my way

i finished immortal consequences a while ago (and LOVED it) and now im craving some more romantasy. if anyone has book recs that have the vibes of immortal consequences, shatter me, powerless, etc. let me know 🫧🫧🫧

Hey all!! I recently got my first tattoo (an adorable dragon my friend drew for me!) and now im already thinking of my next one lol! Anyway I was wondering if anyone here has any bookish tattoos or plans to get one in the future? Not trying to steal ideas I'm just curious!

One book you want everyone to read so you can talk to them in the forums...Just the 1. Any genre.

Mine is technically a trilogy BUT book 1 is:

Ensnared by Rebecca Quinn because I feel like there is a lot to agree and disagree on with the world, story and characters so it is exciting to discuss my favs vs yours.

(It’s a post apocalyptic, reverse harem romance with plot points covering PTSD, the morality of survival, might is right, women's rights at the end of civilization and you know dating 5 dudes.)

Hii, I really want to read a fantasy or historical fiction set in ancient Rome or Greece but I cannot find any. This time period is so rich and I love it so dearly but I feel like it's not very represented or popular in the publishing industry. Please if you know any good books like that help me. Rick Riordan, Madeline Miller and Jenifer Saint are pretty cool but I need mooooore 🏺🏛️

I love this book dearly and I just saw it recommended as a "romantasy" in an ig post. It actually made me want to scream (or cry idk). I believe we have a responsibility as to what we promote and to who, and how we advertise it. Saying a story about an abusive relationship is a romance is ignorant and dangerous.

Vampire equals paranormal not fantasy, in this case I'd say it's more of a gothic/horror read. And there are real life victims of toxic relationships, people who can be triggered by this kind of content.

The person admitted they hadn't read the books on their list but still it made me a little mad. I got war flashbacks of the It Ends With Us movie promotion campaign (Blake Lively is my personal nightmare).

Update : they took into account what I told them about the book and said they'll be more mindful in the future so at least there's that
