🐛 📚 Books @rootboundreads Could NOT Put Down in 2026 ✨

our wormfluencer, @rootboundreads, talks about the books that she couldn't put down:

We’re only 7 weeks into 2026 and I’ve already lost sleep over these four. No regrets.

🌟 Anita De Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez
Sharp, witty, and deliciously layered. Anita demands to be heard and honestly? She deserves every page.

🌟 Rings of Fate by Melissa De La Cruz
Lush, epic, and completely addictive. I read this one in two sittings and felt it in my soul.

🌟 Isaac’s Song by Daniel Black
Quiet and devastating in the best way. This book holds you gently and then breaks you open.

🌟 Mina’s Matchbox
Charming and unexpected — I picked this up on a whim and it absolutely stole my heart.

Every single one of these had me sneaking “just one more chapter” at midnight. Drop a 🔖 comment with any books you lost sleep over so far this year.
