Top 10 Tuesday — Books I Can Hardly Wait For!

13 Jan

Happy Tuesday! 2026 has already been one long year and we aren’t even half way through January. If you’ve noticed I’ve been quiet here on the blog, it’s because my MIL fell and suffered a subdural hematoma on the 3rd. She is back at her care facility and is receiving excellent care, but I would appreciate any prayers you lift up. She is 97 years old and the toll of the injury has really impacted her. I will probably be in an out of the blogosphere for the foreseeable future.

But today I have a bit of free time and listing my most anticipated books of the first half of 2026. I long to get lost in a good book! What books are you looking forward to?

    Your poor MIL! I hope she’s able to recover. I believe in the power of prayer and will absolutely offer one up for her.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
