Thank you. It was a good reading year, with great hopes for the next. Have a wonderful New Year, Antoinette.

Sara, what a rich reading year you had! I feel a rush of warmth every time a friend mentions a book I'd loved on their list of top reads, and you read so many of my favorite books. May the Reading Force be with you in 2026! Happy reading.

Sara, as always wonderful thoughts from you! I am so very thankful that we have been Goodreads friends and I look forward to reading your reviews. I do need to check out some of the books on your list. I so agree about the Robinson books. Wishing you a healthy and happy new year!

I do the same thing, Laysee, when I see a favorite on someone else's list. I always hope they will love it as I do. Happy 2026, my friend!

Thank you, Angela. The feeling is mutual regarding our friendship. I have found dozens and dozens of books I would never have considered without your insightful reviews. I so appreciate having you steer me, especially in contemporary books, where I am often so lost! Happy 2026 to you.

I look forward to another reading year with you Sara. 🥂

Same here, Cathrine!

Your review of 2025 brought tears because it’s just so rewarding and lovely to know others who love books and reading as much as I do. But it’s really about the community and the conversations that make their mark on us!! So grateful for your friendship, Sara!

I am just as grateful for you, Lori, and for the same reason! You always bring extra pleasure to my reads and have led me to so many wonderful books.

May your 2026 reading year be just as great as of the year gone by , Sara ! Also , I hope that some of the group reads and buddy reads that will happen in this year , will be lucky enough for me if they will also have you participating in them ! 😊
Wishing you and all other members a Very Happy and Blessed New Year.. 🎉🎊🎉🙏

Sara, as always, you have perfectly captured a feeling, and this time it's the magic of this place on the internet and all that we can learn together here. I'm glad the year that started with the wonderful Augustus continued so well for you. Looking forward to what this year brings!

I also hope we can be in the same reads more often, Savita. I always enjoy your thoughts, the different perspective you bring to our reading, and the sweet, kind and gentle view you have of life. Hope 2026 is a marvelous year for you, all around.

Goodreads wouldn't feel right for me without you, Kathleen. I always look forward to what you will read next, what you will have to say, and how you will clue me into something I have completely missed! Here's to another great year together.

Thank you, Sara, for a whole new list of books I didn't know anything about.
Mr TBR list just got a bit longer ...

You are quite welcome, Jim. I believe you can be held responsible for a number of the books on mine! Happy reading in 2026.

Well, at least I have read 5 of these. Several others are on that mountain of a list. 😄

I'm delighted to know that your re-reads were all positive experiences; that has not always been the case for me.

I always look forward to reading your reviews, they are generally wonderful reads in and of themselves. And I appreciate the gift of your friendship.

I hope your packing of January reads works for you again this year. Happy 2026!

Lord, I know the feeling, that mountain is totally impossible now. I don't always have good luck with re-reads, but this year was great--I have had really mixed results with books that I read when I was very young!

I love your reviews, as well, Lisa, and totally appreciate your beautiful friendship.

Many thanks , Sara 😊🙏 !

Hope we team up on some reads in 2026, Savita!
