Happy New Year, we are officially in 2026! In today’s video, I’m sharing my 26 in 2026 TBR — the 26 books I want to read in 2026! This reading challenge is my way of planning my year and reading some anticipated books from my physical tbr/shelf (with the exception of 2) and holding myself accountable 📖✨

If you love BookTube, TBR videos, and reading challenges, I hope you enjoy this one! Let me know in the comments if you’re doing a 26 in 2026 challenge and which books are on your list. Also let me know if you're doing 10/12 books for your yearly TBR! I know that 26 is a lot of books to put on a list. 🤍

Thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel! 🫶🏻
