Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find - and Keep - Love | Amir Levine, Rachel Heller

so-so

This book argues that romantic partnership is a biological and evolutionary imperative and that our partners are responsible for our emotional well-being. It also only contemplates monogamous, heterosexual coupledom. That said, the descriptions of anxious attachment were generative for me, as was some of the advice on “secure” conflict resolution

Tasting Sunlight: The BREAKOUT bestseller that you'll never forget... | Ewald Arenz

My favourite book of August was this beautiful depiction of the power of friendship. The rural landscape was so vividly described.

Honourable Mention to Uncle Paul by Celia Fremlin.

The Scroll of Seduction | Gioconda Belli

pick

Finally read my #FoodAndLit #Nicaragua pick (Also a September #BookSpin).

Based on the history of Juana the Mad, this novel is full of obsession, betrayal, ambition, and inappropriate relationships. But it was a good (if infuriating) read to end the year on.

The Dive From Clausen's Pier | Ann Packer

Every year I choose a few books I want to re-read. These are the ones I have been thinking about a lot and will be my picks for 2026!
A Dive From Clausen's Pier
Death With Interruptions
The Collector
Slaughter House 5
The Bluest Eye
5th Season
Red @the Bone
In The Time of Butterflies
Death of Vivik Oj
Underground Railroad

Billypar Great selections! This stack has two that I read for the first time this year: The Bluest Eye and Red at the Bone, both excellent and very worthy of a re-read. 3d

ChaoticMissAdventures @Billypar those 2 are so good!! I have read both a couple of times but it has been a few years so time to revisit and remember why I love them. 3d

BarbaraBB The Collector and Red at the Bone are all-time favorites of mine too. 3d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB The Collector is so creepy!! I love it, it was down to that or Perfume which gives similar vibes. I really want to read another by him in '26

French Lieutenant's Woman

BarbaraBB I read The French Lieutenant too, it‘s completely different! And Perfume, wow, yes, that‘s a long time ago but I still can feel it (smell it 😂?). Have you read

Wasp Factory

BarbaraBB It‘s equally creepy and so is

Under the Skin

ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB oh I have not read either of these! Is Wasp Factory very violent? I think what I like about the Collector and Perfume is that they are quiet scary. I will add both of these to my list! 3d

BarbaraBB Maybe they are too violent to your taste indeed. I didn‘t realize that indeed there is hardly any violence in both Perfume and The Collector! 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB I think the lack of violence in both of those is what makes them work so well. Both of the main characters in essence are extremely violented in their actions, but it is a subtler and creepier way. I don't actually mind violence on the page (LOVE SA Cosby for instance) and I have heard of Wasp Factory forever so I have put it on the list! 2d

The Mistletoe Inn: A Novel | Richard Paul Evans

pick

Despite how fast things happen for his characters, I think this is one of his best books. Kimberly Rossi‘s father sends her to a dream writer‘s conference. There she meets Zeke and everything seems to be going perfectly in the beginning. Can I just say Kim is a bit of a drama queen. If I didn‘t know people like her I‘d otherwise say the author was stretching it.

Mercy | Jodi Picoult

pick

About halfway in I totally skipped the chapters relating to the husband who was on trial for murdering his wife and instead only read those focused on Cam, Allie and Mia. Holyyy shit Jodi Picoult is an incredible author. All of the emotions and thoughts she captures in this love triangle are so believable and the ending is fucking perfect. It really helped me re-look at a situation I was experiencing at the time, for the better.

The Me You Love in the Dark, Volume 1 | Skottie Young

so-so

Not as impactful as some of the graphic novels/comics. An artist moves intro a haunted house for inspiration for her paintings. Theres an inhabitant of the house. The artwork is super dark and creepy but I wanted more of a storyline.
