"Dear readers, I offer an early 2026 roundup," she wrote in the caption beside the video, which shows her shuffling through books that she's "very excited about," even though some of them haven't been released yet. So, why mention them so early?
"This gives everybody an opportunity to reach out to their local public libraries and local independent booksellers," she explained. She urged fans to "put your name on a list and reserve a book" at the library ahead of time, or to "speak to your local independent bookseller and find out when they might have a copy."
There's no celebrity more trusted when it comes to books than Parker. The actress runs her own publishing imprint, SJP Lit, which focuses on "Thought-provoking, inclusive, and big-hearted stories." In 2025, she was named as one of the judges for the highly prestigious Booker Prizes, which required her to read more than 100 books in just seven months. In an interview with the prize company, she shared her surprising tip for reading quickly.
"I’ve also discovered that my finger being a guide on the page has moved me more quickly," she said. "I’m maintaining story and plot and specificity about the book, but I kind of let my hand keep me moving."
And if your New Year's resolution is to read more, Parker has some advice for you, too. "You probably have more time in the day than you think," she said. "In between appointments or calls or waiting for a bus or a train or at the laundromat... take full advantage of [those moments] and, as always, I just never leave home without a book."
