Bookish Item| 2026 eARCs I Need to Get Started On

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

It’s a strange idea, but 2026 really is right around the corner. My yearly goal to increase my Netgalley ratio isn’t going as well as I’d hoped. Even though I really have been reading more of my approved ARCs. That being said, I’ve already been approved for 27 eARCs that release in 2026.

I want to make sure I stay on top of them next year, so the January 2026 releases are books I want to have read before December 31st. Here are the seven eARCs I need to read before this year is over. Let’s take a look!

Published on by The Book DutchessesLeave a comment

As I reader I’m kind of all over the place, haha. I tend to read multiple books at once and sometimes I forget to finish a book. Even when I’m enjoying it. According to my Bookmory app, I’m currently reading 38 books. I can tell you I’m not actively reading 38 books at once.

So today I want to talk about a few of the books I started, was loving, and then kind of forgot about. Let’s take a look!
