Books You Won’t Want to Miss in 2026

By Sophia-Joelle McDowell

Books are one of the best tools in escaping this political hellscape. They also make an excellent tool for processing emotions, like female rage. It’s no secret that we always have women and queer people on the brain. If you’re looking to diversify your reading list this year, you’ve come to the right place.

This list covers plenty of new releases and highly anticipated reads spanning a range of genres; some are safe to enjoy at your favorite coffee shop, and others might be better kept at home. Whether you love poetry, time travel, science fiction, romance, smut, or non-fiction. Pick a title and get ready to cozy up with one of these reads. We can’t wait to hear about it!

This is the time of year that we’re able to lean into our fascination with witches in a way the public (*cough*, patriarchy) deems seasonal and appropriate. It’s the perfect time to cozy up with an atmospheric, spooky read, or my favorite new genre: female rage books.
