2026 Reading Thread

I've been trying to at least make a comment about everything I read and if you are interested in those less-than-review thoughts you can see my LibraryThing catalog and sort for 2026 Reading: https://www.librarything.com/catalog/tldegray

The first thing I read in 2026 was on NYE not long after the ball had dropped and it was the Gargoyles Winter Special 2025, in which Brooklyn investigates a mystery that's bothered Elisa her whole career. This was cozy, sweet, and very much a story of the spirit of the winter holidays.

As in 2025, the rest of my reading will be appended to this thread.

Clean Slate (Olive Hunt Book 1) by Brianna Labuskes (ARC)

This is the first of a new series and I am already fascinated. This time our narrator is a crime scene cleaner (aka bodily fluids cleaner). She has a strong support system, her own business, contacts both lawful and shady, and everything is going as usual until she finds something weird at the crime scene. Something maybe only she could find. Something maybe she was meant to find.

This book is about betrayals, large and small, and about vengeance mistaken for justice. It's also about traumas and their effects, starting with Olive's and including each person the murders touched.
