Now that 2026 is here and January is out,

What did you read in January and what is your 2026 Reading Goal ?

I'm currently reading:

Red Rising
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
A Game of Thrones
Empire of Silence
Fire & Blood

My 2026 Reading goals is to finish about 200 book. I know, it's insane, but I want to get out of the reading block.

I read the Bee sting, the full moon coffee shop, Open water, persepolis.
my reading goal this year is to read min 60 books

Read 5 books in this month. My reading goal is of 48 books - small but a huge jump from last few years (5-10 books per year)

I've read 10 books so far and am currently reading 4. But I'm in a bit of a reading slump tbh and not really in the mood for reading. However, my reading goal is 20 books at the moment, but it may change throughout the year.

How do you guys have time to read do many books? How do y'all manage time?

I read 3 books : Always the Bridesmaid by Lindey Kelk, Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit and Beautiful World, Where are You by Sally Rooney? Presently, I'm reading Penelope Lively's Moon Tiger :)

I’ve finished four books so far: Call Me By Your Name, I Who Have Never Known Men, Slow Dance, and The Midnight Library. I’m currently reading The Wedding People. I’ve also started a few books that I ended up putting down. I’ve realized I don’t really have the patience for slow books right now. I need something to happen almost immediately.

I’m honestly impressed by everyone’s reading goals and how many books you’ve already finished. I set my goal at 25 for now, but I’m hoping to go over that. I really want to get back into romance fantasy, but I don’t know where to start. Any recommendations?

In January I read Louise penny’s the Nlack Wolf. I. February I’m rereading a Gentleman in Moscow , one of my favorites.

I am reading American Dirt.
