2026 Reading List

Tracking a list of books – mostly romance novels – I’ve read starting in January 2026. Let’s see where I end up when December 2026 rolls in.

Note: Romance novels that I don’t look twice at or give me the immediate ick are any books that have…

  • couples calling each other baby/babe/honey/sweetie/darling/any terms of endearment
  • small town romances
  • cowboy/westerns
  • where the female is the nanny / single dads

Altho, there may be exceptions. So, judge/don’t judge my list accordingly.
