As always, I want to first thank everyone who has ever nominated a book, read a book, or participated in one of our discussions. Thank you. You've made this a real enjoyable experience.

Throughout the year we read 10 books. We take July and December off. This is our list for 2026:

January - Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (@Violentvixen )
February - The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri (@masterthes )
March - The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (@Issun )
April - The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy (@Olli )
May - Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman (@Falselogic )
June - The Great Passage by Shion Miura (@Paul le Fou )
August - Mrs. Caliban by Rachel Ingalls (@lincolnic )
September - Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein (@masterthes )
October - The Neverending Story by Michael Ende (@Issun )
November - Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (@Olli )

I'll be making a new thread for each book/month and linking to them here. I don't think anyone minds if you get your reading in early but please don't begin discussing the book until the month has started and let's keep spoilers out of discussion until the last two weeks or so of a month?

If you recommended one of these books and you've got a specific edition or version that you think is great please mention it and link it here if possible. Otherwise I look forward to reading with you all in 2026!

Nice! I checked my library catalog and they had all of them except The Great Passage, just submitted a purchase request for that one. My library is pretty good about getting books but even if I have to buy one over next year that's not bad at all.
