Happy belated Winter Solstice to everyone who celebrated it a few days ago!
Here are my Winter Solstice bookish wishes for 2026.
1. Better ways to learn about upcoming nonfiction titles.
Goodreads sometimes mentions them, but there are no dedicated lists for new nonfiction there from what I can find. If you know of a site that remains up-to-date on this, please share.
2. Library access for everyone.
One of the things that surprised me when I started to get to know other Top Ten Tuesday bloggers is that free public libraries don’t exist in some countries and are maybe only available in big cities in others. I think everyone should have access to free books no matter where you live.
3. More novels about older protagonists
When I say older, I mean senior citizen age. Even though I’m a long way from reaching that label, I enjoy reading about the lives of people who aren’t your typically 18-30 year old protagonists. There’s so much more to life than being a teenager or young adult, and it’s not explored enough in my opinion.
4. More short stories and novellas
I know I’ve mentioned my love of shorter form literature in previous bookish wishes posts, but this is my comfort zone at the moment.
5. A good cup of tea
So much in life can be made just an little easier with a good cup of tea.
6. New books from all of our favourite authors.
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Fun bookish wish list. Books by our favorite authors is always so nice. 🙂
