{partner} TEN BEFORE THE END - Print Edition! All over bookstagram, I’ve been seeing people share ten books they want to finish before the end of the year. Here are ten of mine and I’ll share another version of digital reads later this week - naturally, I had to be sure to sneak a few in for non-fiction November! Have you read any of these yet? Where I should start?

📚REVIEW📚 𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Friends You Haven't Met Yet 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫: Clare Pooley 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞: Contemporary Fiction 💭𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰💭 Review of advance copy received from NetGalley. This is such a beautiful story that highlights how books can connect people from all walks of life! I absolutely loved The Authenticity Project, but this one may just have taken the top spot! Clare Pooley has a knack for writing cute, cosy stories that completely immerse you in their world, offering an escape from the stresses of everyday life. All the characters have their own quirks. The older ladies brought plenty of humour with their fiestyness and gossip. I was hoping that Harper would get her happily ever after, and I found myself rooting for Finn and Jude, especially! Overall, all these different personalities and backstories came together to create such a heartwarming read! I absolutely loved The Authenticity Project, but Friends You Haven't Met Yet might just have stolen the top spot & I recommend that you grab your copy when it's out in February 2027! • • • #ClarePooley #BookReview #Bookstagram ##CurrentlyReading #Reading

The title will definitely earn you a few side eyes, but trust me this is one book you HAVE to read. I guess I'm at a point in my life where I’m resonating with this book a little too much. Maybe growing older means m allowing yourself to just BE. And if that’s disgraceful, well, so be it! 😂 .

a green notebook, a little honesty, and strangers who end up changing each other’s lives. 📖 what if the person who needed your story the most was someone you’d never even met? The Authenticity Project by @clare_pooley is all about the truths we hide, the versions of ourselves we show the world, and the beautiful connections that happen when we finally let people see the real us. A little reminder that you never know how one small act of honesty could change someone’s life. 🥹💚 also, this was my BOTM for @roohmanireadersclub , and I love how this book makes you think about all the stories people carry quietly within themselves. ✦ ⋆˚₊⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ✦ would you leave your own truth in a notebook for a stranger to find? 👀 ✦ ⋆˚₊⋆ ☁︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ✦ #bookofthemonth #booksbooksbooks #bookclubofinstagram #fypシ #explorer {The Authenticity Project, Clare Pooley book review, contemporary fiction, feel good fiction, books about human connection, books about honesty, friendship books, book recommendations, book of the month, Roohmaani}

There are books I read and enjoy, and then there are books I find myself recommending to people over and over again. These are some of the latter. 🤍📚 Different stories, different reasons, but each one has something that makes me want more people to read it. Have you read any of these? And what’s one book you find yourself recommending to everyone? 🤎 #readwithakanksha #books How many of these you have read?

This was such a lovely, feel-good read. Jude runs an independent bookshop, is raising her son on her own and is under real pressure to turn things around financially. Her solution is a Table of Possibilities, where customers leave a book they love in the hope of finding someone who loves it too. What starts as a way to keep the lights on quietly reshapes the lives of everyone who walks through the door, from Harper navigating the disaster zone of modern dating to a trio of older women who become an unlikely force of their own. I loved the bookshop setting and the cast of characters I wanted to spend more time with. Warm, funny and full of heart. 📚 I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 📚 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #currentlyreading #booklover #bookish

📚TEN BEFORE THE END 📚 So I’ve been trying to put together this stack for weeks but I keep changing my mind as to which books to include!🤣 So this is what I think will be my final choices of the 10 books that I want to read before the end of 2026 - a mix of some much anticipated upcoming releases & also some that have been on the TBR pile way too long! What books do you want to read before the end of the year? Do we have any in common? 📖 #TenBeforeTheEnd #tenbeforetheendchallenge #tenbeforetheendbooks #2026reads #bookstoreadnext

Janet brings together her personal experience, years of supporting women and practical tools to offer a fresh path to sobriety. This isn’t about deprivation or simply enduring without alcohol. It’s about building a life that feels bigger, richer, healthier and more authentic.
