Duologies|Trilogies|Saga|Series of my 2026 TBR 🤞🏻

As I plan my 2026 TBR (To Be Read) list, I've realized how much enjoyment comes from immersing myself in multi-book stories like duologies, trilogies, and epic sagas. Reading a series provides a unique sense of progression and connection with characters and worlds that standalone books often can't match. From popular fantasy series like Sarah J. Maas’ "A Court of Thorns and Roses" saga to thrilling trilogies such as "Red Queen" by Victoria Aveyard, each series offers a distinct experience that hooks readers deeply. I personally enjoy how the stories develop themes of power, identity, and resilience across multiple installments, making the investment in time feel rewarding. For 2026, I'm focusing on a mix of new reads and beloved series that I haven't finished yet. For example, "The Cruel Prince" series by Holly Black combines intricate politics and faerie magic — perfect for those who love dark fantasy. Meanwhile, "Shatter Me" by Tahereh Mafi delivers a gripping dystopian narrative with intense character growth. When selecting a series for my TBR, I look for well-crafted world-building and strong character arcs. Long series can be daunting, so I tend to balance longer sagas with shorter duologies or trilogies to keep my reading pace enjoyable and fresh. Setting such a goal encourages me to regularly reflect on my reading preferences and discover intriguing books recommended by fellow readers. I find that tagging posts with #yearofbooks and #tbrlist helps me connect with a community that keeps me motivated throughout the year. Overall, crafting a TBR specifically centered around series allows me to experience rich storytelling panoramas and sustained emotional engagement. It also means I have plenty to look forward to in 2026 — a year of adventures through pages and journeys across fantastical realms and compelling narratives.
