This year I want to simplify my TBR as much as possible, bringing very few books on my ‘want to read’ list from 2025 into 2026. I plan on only keeping those books that actually have a chance of being read, knowing that this list grows very quickly as the year progresses and I see what everyone else is recommending.
I will still be separating my fiction and non-fiction reading to make it easier for all to follow. I’m also planning on separating by genre to make choosing books to go with my mood easier.
