My 2026 Reading Resolutions!

Posted on by

Hello everyone! Today is an exciting and scary day, because for the first time ever, I’ve published content on YouTube! My introduction post is my 2026 Reading Resolutions. 

I have a fun number of resolutions I’m taking on this year, including trying BookTube. I shared I was publishing this video in last night’s Sunday Summary to make myself publish it 😅 Some are regular features, such as my total target books for the year. However, there are a number of new resolutions in this 2026 reading resolutions video. 

If you want to watch my video, you can find it below 🥰 I’d appreciate the support if you can give it via following or liking the video. Please bear with me whilst I learn the ropes ☺️ 

If you can’t watch or prefer to read, here’s a short form summary of my 2026 reading resolutions. 

 

My 2026 Reading Resolutions 

 

Goodreads / Total Books Challenge

This year I want to read 60 books. It’s a push from the 48 I finished in 2025, but I need the motivation and I’m looking forward to a challenge! 

 

Set Reading List

My second goal is to pick up books from a set list over the course of 2026. I’ll be reading a couple of these a month or so to get through the list throughout 2026. 

These come from recommendations, are long-standing books on my TBR, and will push my out of my comfort zone. There’s classics, banned books and sequels of series on here too! 

  • Pillars of the Earth
  • Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
  • The Good Samaritan
  • Jane Eyre
  • Murdertrending
  • The Colour Purple
  • Alias Grace
  • Yellowface
  • The Great Hunt
  • Eve
  • Julia
  • 1984
  • The Great Passage
  • Bridge to Terabithia 
  • Lolita
  • The Kite Runner

 

Read more mainstream books 

I miss out on a lot of content because I don’t pick up many mainstream books, especially when they are released. 

To get more involved, I’ll be reading and reviewing popular books and series like Throne of Glass, The Poppy War, The Bone Season and Fourth Wing. Naturally, I’ll also be looking for new releases and this list will evolve in time. 

 

Prioritise Owned Books

Lastly, I’ll be reading as much as I can from my bookshelves of owned books. Whilst this doesn’t intersect well with the above goal, I’ll juggle the two together as much as I can. 

I have a lot of physical books in my spare room that I’d like to read and clear down via donations to charity or re-homing them once finished with. 

 

Summary 

Thanks for reading, and hopefully watching my 2026 Reading Resolutions video today! Have you set any reading goals for 2026?
