YEAR IN REVIEW 2026

Reading year in review 2026: numbers and questions

A reading year in review is fifteen quiet minutes with a cup of something: the numbers first, then a few questions about what stuck. It isn’t a verdict on how much you read. It’s about what you loved and what you want more of in 2027. Type your answers here, copy them as text into your notes, or print the sheet and fill it in by hand.

HOW TO DO IT

A review without counting on your fingers

  • Take the numbers from what you already have: an app, a notebook, your library loans or photos of your shelf.
  • Don’t know a number? Leave it blank. The questions matter more than the stats.
  • Don’t compare yourself with anyone. Six books you loved make a better year than sixty you pushed through.
  • Do it with friends: everyone fills in a sheet, then you swap books of the year.
  • Finally, move your answers from “Plans” onto a fresh to-read list.
