I first came across this meme on the Bookforager‘s blog and it seemed like fun so I decided to give it a try in 2026. The meme is hosted by Jana at Reviews from the Stacks and the theme this month is a freebie. I’ve decided to use backlist books, I’m on a mission this year to read at least twelve of my backlist books, if not more, so they’re very much on my mind. Lets take a look at some of those titles:
F
Feathertide by Beth Cartwright
E
Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean
B
Bellewether by Susanna Kearsley
R
Rosewater by Tade Thompson
U
Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune
A
Angel Mage by Garth Nix
R
Realm of Ash by Tasha Suri
Y
You Are Fatally Invited by Ande Pliego
Have you read any of these titles? If so, what did you think – do I need to bump them up the list??

I first came across this meme on the Bookforager‘s blog and it seemed like fun so I decided to give it a try in 2026. The meme is hosted by Jana at Reviews from the Stacks and the theme this month is ‘new’. I’ve used my own interpretation of new and chosen future releases for 2026. I confess that this was much harder than I expected! I struggled with the J and the Y but here’s what I’ve come up with:
J
The Jellyfish Problem by Tessa Yang
A
A Forest Darkly by AG Slatter
N
Nightshade and Oak by Molly O’Neill
U
The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden
A
Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett
R
Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry
Y
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
