2026: Year of the Horse – Books to Read

Happy Lunar New Year! The Year of the Fire Horse in 2026. This year encourages courage and boldness. To celebrate, here’s a curated book list featuring horse-themed stories like “The Horse and His Boy” and “Black Beauty”.

Happy Lunar New Year, dearies!

2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, exciting? I think so, and I like the Chinese Zodiac and the Lunar New Year, I’m hooked.

So, before I go into books that have horses on the cover or are about horses, did you know this about the Chinese zodiac? I didn’t know, and I like to keep myself informed: The Year of the Horse is about energy, independence, and a restless spark for adventure. 🐎 The rare Fire Horse amplifies that spirit even more. And, it appears once every 60 years, and is associated with fierce passion, charisma, and bold, untamed ambition. In traditional lore, Fire Horse years were considered powerful and unpredictable. A year for courage, risk, and charging toward new horizons. 🔥✨

So, this 2026 is a fierce one that we can definitely look forward to enjoying and having a spark of adventure. Alright, enough astrology, let’s do books!

Here are a few books that I found, and one that it is actually in my online bookshelf.

18 Books on my TBR List that I keep saying I will read Soon

What is a TBR list gone wild? Mine is starting to look like that each passing year.

Or a Book Suggestions guide from my TBR. 😆

Hello, dearies! 📚

Welcome to a new book list, and directly from my TBR pile, list, digital bookshelf.

It’s not that I don’t want to read these books, it is more that I know that I’ll probably like them and be so invested in them that I will forget about everything else, and that can be dangerous because I do have to work from Mon – Fri, lol.

But I have so many books that I have added to my TBR list over the years that it is incredible. At least, last year, I finally went through the whole The Maddox Brothers Series, and I was right, I did like them and I did binge-read the whole series that it made me a bit dizzy.

And the same thing happened with the Eternal Mates series, although I hadn’t thought of reading all of the books before, I had read one like 10 years before, and then I wondered about the other books in the series and well, now I am about to finish the whole series (20 books in), but I did skip some.

9 Books that I can easily re-read every year… some times twice a year

“The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.”
From City of Bones

Hello, dearies! 📚

Welcome to another ranting on books that not everyone might know about, but I am very attached to and like a lot, and I don’t mind re-reading them over and over, even when I have a reading list (or TBR if you prefer) the size of a town.

So, what are some books that I wouldn’t get tired of reading? You might be surprised, because I certainly was when thinking back and trying to figure out, what would be that book that I want to re-read?

And so, here I am, sharing because I am kind like that. 😆

What Sunrise on the Reaping could be like

March, 18 is getting closer each day and we expect Sunrise on the Reaping to be epic.

Hello, dearies! 🌄

As you know Sunrise on the Reaping, The Second Quarter Quell or the book about Haymitch Abernathy that we have been waiting for since we read The Hunger Games, will be released this month. But what could it be like? 🤔

Now, I have not read excerpts, many quotes, or nothing major about the book beyond the fact that it is about Haymitch, I mean when I saw the news last year that was all I needed to be convinced of reading this one. But can it live up to the hype?
