2026 Reading List & Book Reviews

In 2026, my reading life became a more intentional part of how I documented stories, seasons, and everyday reflection. This page gathers every book I read and reviewed throughout the year — from literary fiction and historical novels to contemporary stories, mysteries, memoirs, and book club picks.
Each title is archived here as part of my long-term reading record, with links to full reviews, favorite themes, and the books that shaped my year.
Many of these reviews were first shared on Instagram through @erinlgorereads, but this 2026 reading list brings them together in one organized, searchable space — a thoughtful archive for readers who love atmosphere, emotion, and stories that linger.
The Complete 2026 Reading List
I’m documenting my 2026 reading year as it unfolds — not only the books I finish, but the ones that stay with me, surprise me, challenge me, or become part of a particular season of life.
This list will continue to grow throughout the year, with each book linked to its full review when available.
Dolly All the Time
A completely addictive contemporary romance that I devoured in a single day. Annabel Monaghan takes a familiar rich-guy-meets-small-town-girl premise and transforms it into a heartfelt, emotionally rich story filled with unforgettable characters, genuine chemistry, and a romance you'll root for from beginning to end.

Before documenting my 2026 reading life, I spent 2025 rebuilding a slower, more intentional relationship with reading. That year became the foundation for Erin Gore Reads — filled with thoughtful reviews, literary discoveries, historical fiction, contemporary stories, and books that shaped how I approached storytelling online.
