My 2026 TBR List

Since I’m participating in the Around the Year in 52 Books Challenge again in 2026, as I have for the past four years, I’ve already spent the last few days selecting suitable books for the various prompts (tasks). The books listed below are the result. No, I don’t expect to read all 156 books; that would be presumptuous. But this way, I have the option, without any pressure, to always choose a book from the list that I feel like reading at any given moment.
The great thing about this list is that I was also able to pick 26 books for the 26for2026 challenge, and perhaps one or two of them will also be suitable for other challenges. We’ll see how that develops as I progress through the challenges I participate in.
You can also view this list on Goodreads.

I wish you a Happy New Year with many successful book-related projects, challenges and non-book-related adventures.

Hallöchen RoXXie,
Wow da hast du ja einige tolle und interessante Titel auf deinem TBR für 26 drauf.
Gelesen habe ich davon: “ Harry Potter und die Heiligtümer des Todes” und “Wer die Nachtigal stört” . Von Liane Mars möchte ich die andere Drachen Dilogie gern lesen.

Wünsche dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue “Lese”jahr

Liebe Grüße
Sheena
