📚 Welcome to TSR Book Club 2026!📚
Hello!
This is a space for all of you book worms out there to discuss and talk books in general, as well as your reading goals and any book that you've read and liked - or hated! 
First, a few questions to get us started:
1. How many books do you want to read in 2026?
2. What is your favourite genre of books?
3. What book are you currently reading / what book did you last read?
I'll start first:
1. I want to read 52 books (one a week for the year)
2. Classics and Fantasy
3. Been doing a lot of reading for my degree recently so I've been balancing that with Percy Jackson.
And now quoting everyone from the 2025 Book Club!!

1. How many books do you want to read in 2026?
I am not giving myself a challenge as it went quite badly for me last time I did it so I am just going to try to read as much as I can! My record is 45 books but it was very forced
Currently I've read 5 books already this year which isn't too bad!
2. What is your favourite genre of books?
Probably thriller/mystery/detective/sci-fi and also non-fiction/biography
To be honest I don't have a favourite as I will give anything a go, I just find fantasy quite difficult sometimes
3. What book are you currently reading / what book did you last read?
Currently reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman and "SPQR" by Mary Beard

With this reply I join this society. I answer the questions later when I get the time for it.
Hello all!
Thank you so much @Scotland Yard for setting up this thread. I need a space that helps me stay accountable, especially because I set ambitious reading goals that I rarely achieve.
1. How many books do you want to read in 2026?
I would like to read at least 10 books. It may be a modest target, but I want it to be genuinely achievable so I can build momentum, rather than setting an ambitious goal and not reaching it.
2. What is your favourite genre of books?
I only read non-fiction and classical literature. I will give anything a go within non-fiction.
3. What book are you currently reading / what book did you last read?
I have not really read for pleasure since finishing my degree, but now I am starting with The Royal Palace of Madrid. It explores the palace's history and gives a detailed explanation of each room and its significance.

Finally I got thet time to answer your questions:
1.) A dozen of books, but that is not realistic. Try at least to finish one.
2.) Classic. Still classic. No matter what original language (Preference: German and English).
3.) None so far / The firm by John Grisham
1) I've set a Goodreads challenge of 42 for this year, but I feel like 50 might be achievable if I maintain my current rate.
2) I'm mainly a non-fiction person, and a big fan of history and travel writing, but I also am getting into detective fiction and slowly making my way through the works of Agatha Christie!
3) Currently I am reading A History of Britain in Ten Enemies by Terry Deary. It's sort of adult Horrible Histories and I'm not sure how I feel about it so far...

hmm I'm not too sure - I want to finish my tbr (75...) but I don't think I have enough time to - hopefully after gcses I can have lots of time to read, but the break is only 10 weeks (however I did once read 6 books in a day and 27 in a month, so maybe I can read lots during those 10 weeks?)
2.
probably fantasy, crime and romance
3.
currently reading black holes by brian cox and jeff forshaw, I'm only 28 pages in because I have to take notes when I read it to understand it, and I can only really read 3 pages at a time before my brain reaches its limit

1.
I want to read 100 books in 2026, I have read 37 sofar so I might up my goal later in the year, if I reach it too soon.
2.
My fave genre of books is politics, classical lit and manga. Also, anything ancient-Rome related..
3.
I am currently reading the Communist Necessity (J. Moufauad-Paul) and the Flowers of Buffoonery (Osamu Dazai). I last read the Hunger Artist (Kafka) and it was so sad.

Hats off to you for reading so much
That is, you know, about two books per day, how much time do you spend reading per day?

Oh god i spent so much hours a day reading, i normally start at 9:00-15:00 and then at 21:00-3:00. I dont really have a tight sleep schedule so i read when i can. Sometimes i read 4-3 books in a day and then take like a month break because i read so much. But the hours kind of fly by when you read.

I am reading this huge book on self-determination and autonomy. It’s very academic and theoretical. It doesn’t help that it’s outside my field.
If I finish this book this year, I’d be happy (and much wiser!📖🧑*🏫

I am also reading Life, Death and Biscuits by Anthea Allen, which I have got from my local library as an e-book on my Kobo.

I am re-reading Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series, which I loved as a young teen and which I am enjoying again over 10 years later!
