New Year, New Me? Resolutions, Reading Goals, and Reinventing Yourself in 2026

It’s rebrand season, baby. ✨ Today we’re talking reinvention, realistic resolutions, reading goals we’ll actually keep, and how books sneak into the way we find ourselves again. We’re breaking down: • 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 Plus: what we’re reading to kick off 2026 — and the book that might reset your mindset. If you’re ready to become your favorite version of yourself (without the toxic pressure)… you’re in the right place. 💫 👇 COMMENT BELOW: What’s your 2026 word, your first read of the year, or a goal you want us to help you workshop? New episodes every week. Bring your blanket. Bring your book boyfriend. See you in the comments. #bookpodcast #readinggoals #newyearnewme #booktok #bookstagram
