In my Q1 Bookish Superlatives + Check-In, I mentioned my 2026 reading not being quite as 5-star-filled as I might hope. I am thrilled to report that has changed significantly with Q2! If this trajectory continues, I can only imagine (with great glee) how difficult crafting my top ten list at the end of the year will be.
Below you’ll find all my bookish superlatives from the second quarter of the year: Favorite fiction book, favorite nonfiction book, biggest surprise, book most like a warm hug, most stunning cover, and more.
I’m also providing an update on my 4 reading intentions for the year, which are not turning out at all like I expected but I am enjoying the rides and detours nonetheless!
This quarterly feature - along with membership in the Reading And Purpose Nonfiction Book Club and various articles, resources, and opportunities - are bonus items for all paid subscribers. Feel free to join us - we’re a very welcoming, positive, and forward-moving group!
You can find more details, as well as our 2026 book list, here.
I hope your Q2 reading wrapped up well and that Q3 is off to an excellent start!
