26 Books I NEED to Read in 2026 (No Excuses) 📖💕✨

Описание: If I only read 26 books in 2026...these are the ones I’m choosing.

I wanted this reading list to feel intentional, exciting, and realistic. We have a mixture of books I've been meaning to read for ages, books that intimidate me and new books I have a feeling I’m going to absolutely love.

So this is my official 26 for 2026 challenge and by posting this video I'm holding myself accountable (and hoping you guys will join in and hold me accountable too).
