Every Book I've Read So Far In 2026 (And Why You Should Read Them)

Next, I read my favorite Jane Austen book so far and that is Emma. Emma is so freaking fun.

Loved reading that book and I loved making that video because I read it without my friend Haley knowing.

I read the unabridged version of this monster of a novel. And I've been thinking about it daily since I finished. One of the most remarkable pieces of fiction I think I've ever read.

It probably has the greatest love letter in all of fiction ever, but my gosh guys, this book was so hard to read. The prose was just not my style. I think it's Pride and Prejudice was easy to understand, but the story itself was quite cute and I was very happy with it in the end.

It is a marvelous book and probably one of my favorite romance books I've ever read.

It did not quite live up to every expectation. I went into it thinking, "Oh, it's going to be this really fast-paced crazy crime thriller." And I found myself not really caring about the crime part.

We see this incredible character development along the way. He's so reluctant, and then by the end of it, he's still the same Bilbo, but yet now he's willing to do anything to see this thing through.

Some of the most incredible imagination ever put to paper. This is more than just fantasy. Like everything has a purpose.

As enjoyable as the story is, it is a slow burn. Okay? This is Stephen King we're talking about. This is Peter Straub we're talking about. They take their time to tell their stories and it can get a little bit long-winded.

It's this beautiful layered story of so many different ways that people are divided and yet you face the whole story off with these two young men, one named Connor and one named Seamus, and the struggles that they get embroiled into and the loves and the losses and the relationships that are kindled. Everything about this book was perfect.
