End of Year Book Tag

I’ve started The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig – I put it down and need to pick it back up!

I don’t really have seasonal books that I read every year, but since we are going into Summer here in Australia one book I think will give me summery vibes is Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I’m really looking forward to Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree that was just released!

Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher and The Possession of Alba Diaz by Isabel Cañas and Katabasis by R.F. Kuang

I just have a feeling I’m going to love this!

No… I did struggle with reading slumps throughout this year so my only plan for 2026 is to fall back in love with reading again!
