The first reading year of 2026 is now wrapped! How did our first month of reading go? Did we find any new favorites? Keep on reading for our January wrap up!
We thought it was time for a fun new post every week. In the Royal Update one of us updates you about our personal life, bookish news, what we’re reading, watching and listening to and anything else that might apply to this post. We thought it would be fun to share a bit more about our personal lives and hope you think so too!
The first month of the year is already over! January can be a month that feels like it takes forever but goes by in the blink of an eye at the same time. Today it’s time for our bookhaul! Did we add any new books to our shelves? Let’s find out!
Last year, I started reading more literary fiction and I want to more this year. Is This a Cry for Help? caught my eye and a great way to start reading more of this genre. Today I want to tell you more about this book and what I thought.

It’s Wednesday, so time for a new WWW Wednesday to talk about my reading progress and plans. I really love these posts and talking more about what I’m reading before the monthly wrap up. Even if my reading plans change I like thinking about what I’m going to read!
So it’s time for my next WWW Wednesday. This is a weekly meme hosted by Taking On a World of Words and you participate by simply answering three questions:
We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025. I find topics like this really hard! Most of the time I have a pretty good idea about what I like, so the one thing I do ‘discover’ are new to me authors. I’m not sure I read books by 10 new to me authors, but we can see how far we’ll come. Let’s jump in! Continue reading “TTT #414 | Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025”
