Reading Goals for 2026

Five old-fashioned leather-bound books sitting on a shelf, next to a pile of newer hardbacks.

Still no great changes to my annual reading goals!

At least 48 books, of which:
at least 4 are in French, and
at least 25% are in Swedish
at least 12 are non-fiction
at least 10 have been in my library for over a year
at least 10 have come from my TBR (as of January 1, 2026)
at least half are by women or enby authors
at least 10% are by Black authors
at least 1 new-to-me country (as of January 1, 2026)

For my own reference, the last book I added to my TBR before January 1, 2026 was The Rise of the Military Welfare State.

My thinking behind these goals hasn’t really changed in the intervening years, so I’ll just link to the blog post instead of repeating myself.
