Morning Pages | 1 January 2026

I made it! Yay! I'm heading into 2026 feeling pretty good. Starting it with a fountain pen and a notepad is the way.

Here's the TBR as it stands. There's room for it to grow. Ideally, I'd like not to leave a lot of it till December as I did this year, but if that's how it pans out, then so be it. It actually worked in December this year to get me reading books I've wanted to read for a long time, such as Jude the Obscure. I'm also shooting for a one-third / two-thirds split between non-fiction and fiction this year, so I'll need to add more non-fiction. That's not going to be a problem—I have hunners!

Join The Master and Margarita read-along here. I'm leading a group over January and February.
