Despite only being 5 days into 2026, readers are already striving towards their reading goals, with a keen eye on all of the books that are due to hit shelves in the months ahead. And, according to Goodreads, 2026 is shaping up to be a very busy year for bookworms.
Some of the most talked-about titles come from familiar names. Douglas Stuart, who won the Booker Prize for Shuggie Bain, returns with John of John, set in Scotland's remote Hebrides. Ann Patchett is back with Whistler, a quiet, character-driven novel about unexpected connections, while Maggie O'Farrell follows Hamnet with Land, a historical novel set in 19th-century Ireland.
There are also plenty of buzzy pivots and debuts. Former teen star Jennette McCurdy, who became a New York Times bestselling-author with her memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, is making her fiction debut with Half His Age, while celebrated memoirist Christina Applegate is releasing a deeply personal nonfiction book later in the year. Genre readers will find no shortage of options either, with heavily anticipated releases across fantasy, romantasy, horror, and romance already gaining traction.
For now, though, one thing is clear: readers are already planning far ahead. And if Want to Read shelves are any indication, 2026 is going to be a big year for books.
