Hi Book Friends!
2026 is coming in hot for all of us.

Or cold, as the case may be.
It's time for me to pick a new reading theme. I enjoyed my Water reading thing and because of it, I read a lot of books about the ocean, rivers and water in general. I also read a lot of books with water/rivers/ponds and lakes in the title that turned out to really not be about water. Despite that, I feel that I did discover authors that I would not have explored were it not for the water theme. So- I'm going to do a new theme for 2026.
In the past I've done pirates, monsters and water.
For 2026... I'm thinking
Outer Space,
Bones ( not the TV show kind, but definitely forsensic kind as well as the poetic kind), or
Music.
It's going to be hard to choose. For most of 2025 I was sure it would be outer space, but here at the end, I have been fascinated by the amount of "bone books" out there, and love the idea of music as a theme, so I'm now a bit torn.
Does anyone else use a theme for each year?
