Mid-year Reading Check-in

We are already done with half a year, and what’s better than a mid-year reading check-in?

72 books. Various authors. Each story better than the other. And so much love!

From 5 star reads to that 1 star reads which I felt like smacking on my head for even picking it up, these last few months simply flew by.

So many new authors discovered, so many books added to the favourite shelf and the never-ending growing TBR!

Here’s my digital diary summing up the first six months of 2026.

With love and lots of stories,
The Reading Lane
