Books I've Read in 2026
The complete list, continually updated.

If you'd like to support Words Like Silver financially (which allows me to devote more time to its development), you can shop my picks directly on Bookshop, a platform that supports independent booksellers. Not all books I reference are available there—most are—so alternatively, you can shop at a local favorite, Barnes & Noble, or support your local library. I just ask that you don't buy these from Amazon. (Thank you.)
Every year, I track what I'm reading on my book blog as well as via The Storygraph. My review archive needs updating, but I'm always happy to book club across my yearly lists: like my read in 2025 and read in 2024 pages.
