It’s a new year… which means new intentions, fresh planners, and at least three versions of ourselves living rent-free in our brains.

In this episode, we talk about:

• why resolutions feel overwhelming and how to make them realistic
• big goals vs tiny dopamine-hit goals
• whether rereads “count” towards your goal 
• attention spans, burnout, and Romantasy overload
• choosing a word of the year (Youthful? Whimsy? Immersive?)
• motivating reads, comfort reads, and perspective-shifting picks
• building a real, inclusive book community in 2026

We’re starting the year with optimism, intention, and a TBR that may or may not destroy us...and we want to hear your goals too.

Tell us your word for 2026, your first read of the year, or a resolution you want help breaking down into something doable. We’ll cheer you on.

Next week: new releases we’re obsessing over and whether the sequels are actually worth it.

Same time, same place. Bring your blanket. Bring your book boyfriend. See you there.
