A shiny new thread for 2026.

All welcome and note 26 is just a number. Everyone can set their own target and you are welcome here even if you only read 2 books a year.

I personally count the larger novel style books I read to my children and audio books I listen to. Others don't and there are no rules.

I look forward to all your suggestions again this year.

31 - A Town Called Solace - Mary Watson
This kind of book is why I read! Absolutely loved this - very character driven, well written, beautiful setting in rural Canada. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find this author - looking forward to reading her previous novels now and she also has a new once coming in November.

It's taken me quite a while too - it's Mary Lawson! 😀Thanks for the recommendation ...

3. Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
What a book!
The writing was beautiful, the characters complex and the plot was exciting.
Very early to be calling it but I think this may be my book of the year! Will be hard to beat.

Just finished this today and was trembling by the end. Agree, best book I've read for ages. The way it builds is so clever and the descriptions of the natural world are magical.
