Intro
Can you believe we are already into quarter two of the year? That is absolutely nuts to me. As such, this is the perfect bookish tag! I found it from Dini Panda Reads. It originated from Roisin's Reading over on YouTube.
The Prompts and My Picks
How many books have you read so far?
40
This is only counting books read in quarter 1, not any read so far in April. This feels just fine to me honestly. That said, I am focusing on having fun with reading, not the total number so I'd be happy if it was only 3 so far.
Have you already found a book you think might be a 2026 favorite?
Cambria by A.R. Tyler
Something about this one just totally sucked me in when reading. I truly devoured it in only 2 days which is super fast for me and a physical read.
Any 1-star books / least favorite book of the year?
No 1-star reads yet, but my last favorite so far for sure is Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow
I am getting significantly better and DNFing books I am not loving. I have DNFed at least 1 book a month in quarter 1 which I am honestly proud of. This book, I generously gave 2.5 stars, as I really did not love the content. I only finished it to help with my 50 states challenge this year.
Most read genre so far?
Romance
If you have been around here at all, this should not at all be a surprise. It is a favorite for a good reason for me. I get great delight from it and it is what I primarily get ARCs for. That said, it's lead is starting to dwindle.
A book that surprised you?
Hurt Me Not by Davidson King
I have not previously been a fantasy enby (I still would not say I am). That said, I enjoyed buddy reading this with my aunt-in-law a good bit. I will try some now.
A book that’s come out in 2026 already that you want to read but haven’t yet?
And Now, Back to You by B.K. Borison
I still have not read the first book in this series either. It is on my TBR and I hope to get to them both at some point this year. I have not read any of her books yet.
One goal you made that you’re succeeding at
Read at least 10% non-fiction
At the moment it is at 22%, which is fantastic for me! I am so glad to be getting to know what I like in this category!
One goal you made that you need to focus on
Host an amazing WPS for 2026
June is absolutely sneaking up sooner and sooner. I am about to start working on stuff to pull it off now, with the hope of as simple of a June as possible. Wish me luck and be sure to let me know if you'd like to be involved!
Outro
As always, if you'd like to do the challenge, consider yourself tagged. How did your first quarter of reading go? I hope it went well!
