2026 reading list
Hello!
This year I naturally came back to reading more books, something I have been wanting to do for a couple of years but was not very consistent with.
I want to track my reading list this year, and what better way than a blog post to share my thoughts as well?
Note: This blog post will be updated as I progress.
Finished
The mountain is you by Brianna Wiest. Interesting read. I've enjoyed it overall, it was easy to read and thought-provoking. A lot of the content felt more like confirmation of things I've read in other places/books, than true "a-ha" moments. Still nice. The only aspect I disliked is that it felt repetitive at times (same sentences or concepts mentioned too many times throughout the book). Read in February.
The psychology of money by Morgan Housel. Absolutely not my usual type of book, which is exactly why I bought it in the first place. I was pleasantly surprised by the clarity of the author's explanations about complex topics or concepts. I also really enjoyed learning about the real-life stories that illustrate the book. I've definitely learnt some things I can apply going forward. What I appreciated the most was the recognition that we all have a different history, understanding and perspective of money based on who we are and where/how/when we were raised; and they're all valid. Refreshing. Read in February/March.
Ongoing
Women living deliciously by Florence Given. I've bought this book what feels like forever ago (when it came out), and even though I'm really enjoying it, I've been reading it super slowly... I don't know why. Always a chapter at a time, at random moments. I'll eventually finish it I guess haha.
Conquer Chiari by Rick Labuda. Started in March. This book is quite long and technical, even though it's aimed at patients and family/friends of patients. Not exactly a fun read but I'm sure it will help me gain more knowledge about my conditions, so I'm looking forward to finish it.
Million Dollar Women by Julia Pimsleur. Started in March. So far, easy to read, engaging and interesting. Also very relatable despite being in a very different position/situation than Julia. I'm still at the relative beginning of the book but I'm making steady progress!
Next up
- Hors saison et autres nouvelles by Françoise Bourdin. French book. I've been offered this one a couple of weeks ago, it seems easy to read and it's quite short so I might keep this one in my bag to read when I'm in public transportation or waiting in line somewhere. I don't think I've read anything by this author before so I'm curious to see if I like her style.
