Hello, reader!
It’s time for a check-in on one of my 2026 reading projects, Library Love! I figured I would share what books I check out each month to try and keep myself accountable. Maybe then I’ll actually read my library loans instead of letting them languish on my desk until my renewals run out 😅 I also reflect on my last month’s stack to see how many I managed to pick up.
So let’s see how January went and what books I’ve picked up in February!
Last Month’s Stack
In January, I ended up checking out four physical books and two audiobooks.
My physical picks were:
- Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz
- Every Day I Read by Hwang Bo-Reum
- Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly
- Jane Austen’s Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney
My audiobook picks were:
- His & Hers by Alice Feeney
- The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones
I’m happy to report that, out of the six I checked out, I’ve read five of them! I’m pretty proud of myself for that one, haha. The only one I didn’t get to so far is Jane Austen’s Bookshelf, but I’m going to be cracking that one open soon! Especially since it’s due back at the beginning of March…
Of the books I managed to read, my favorite was definitely one of my audio reads, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Stephen Graham Jones is quickly cementing himself as one of my favorite authors and I will be buying myself a copy ASAP. A close second is Hidden Figures, which I just finished reading today and absolutely loved. I haven’t been this enamored of a non-fiction book for awhile! That being said, none of the books I checked out were less than three stars, so my January library stack kinda started this project out with a bang.
