Back into the world of Aes Sedai, the Dark One, and the Forsaken with the third book in the Wheel of Time series, I love how Robert Jordan can bring three mostly separate story lines together at the end so seamlessly.

I have loved the A*Teens since high school and they have a new song for the first time in 22 years and are competing in Melfest. It’s the little things to make 2026 bearable!

A total of 1,731 pages read during 1,637 minutes across 6 books in January 2026. As nerdy as it sounds, I enjoy being able to keep track of my reading progress.

Book #5 of 2026: Role Model by Rachel Reid
The fifth book of the Game Changers series and a quick read for me. I liked the themes the book tackled outside of the romance as well as the fact that there was no fake relationship drama this time around. Probably my second favorite of the series so far.
One of my favorite lines from any movie is “Looks like two pigs fightin’ under a blanket.”

I read Patricia Cornwell and Janet Evanovich in the past, which had female main characters, so this was a change up for me.

Book cover of WInterkill written by C.J. Box, a Joe Picket Novel. The cover features three trees standing alone in a landscape of deep snow.
Book #4 of 2026: Winterkill by C.J. Box
The third book of the Joe Pickett series with a bit of a darker turn on the character and series. The antagonist reminded me of a certain "security" secretary even though it was published back in 2003.

Book 4 of the Game Changers series and a bit better than the last one. It was nice to see some old characters return in the background and keep the overall world moving forward. The ending felt rushed again, but that seems to be a consistent occurrence.
Is that the one where the “guards” may have been told to be more brutal with the “prisoners” to confirm their hypothesis?
