Books I’ve read and loved lately
Something I started in 2026 is a reading journal. It has space for 100 books, so should last me almost 2 years as I’m at about 50 books a year now. I never thought I would keep up with one, but I’m doing OK so far. Sometimes I had to go back and add a book I missed, but it is helping me keep track of what a book is about and some of the characters in it.
Sometimes I read a book and have no idea what it was about or anyone’s name, but I know I loved it. Does that ever happen to you?

I haven’t done a book episode in over a year (I don’t know how that happened), so this list isn’t everything I’ve been reading lately, just some of my favourites. I loved to re-read, though, so anything that I miss off will probably pop up in a future episode.
