8 Books in January | Classics, Fantasy, Gothic Romance & More

Hi everyone 🤍 In today’s video, I’m sharing my January 2026 reading wrap up! After experiencing my first-ever reading slump, I decided to shift my reading goals from quantity to quality — and it completely changed my perspective. This month I read 8 books, including classics, epic fantasy, paranormal romance, gothic romance, and feminist essays. I’m also sharing a mini library haul + Barnes & Noble classic book haul, including some Russian literature and American classics I’m excited to dive into next. If you love chatty reading wrap-ups, classic literature, fantasy books, feminist essays, and thoughtful reflections on reading goals — this one’s for you. 📚 Books Mentioned 00:00 – Intro + Reading Slump & Changing My 2026 Reading Goals 05:42 – Love Redesigned (Lakefront Billionaires #3) by Lauren Asher ⭐ 3.5 08:11 – Bonds of Hercules (Villains of Lore #2) by Jasmine Mas ⭐ 3.25 10:37 – A Day of Fallen Night (The Roots of Chaos) by Samantha Shannon ⭐ 4.25 13:53 – Anathema by Keri Lake ⭐ 3.25 16:49 – Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë ⭐ 3.5 20:35 – A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf ⭐ 5 ⭐ 32:59 – The Nantucket Restaurant by Pamela M.
