my favorite books read in the first half of 2026
Maybe it’s the last day of school tomorrow. Maybe it’s maybelline.
Tomorrow I have two sapphic books coming in the mail, Hungerstone and Architecti. I will be posting about these.

Finished Hunger Stone and I loved it - blitzed through it in two days and was really taken with the gothic mood and being in the mind of the protagonist. Loved the angle of vampirism and the themes of want, hunger, and reclaiming one' own life. Should be required reading for every woman approaching 30 (or over!)
It was as though the universe had drawn back a curtain and revealed a truth to me: only in fiction was there logic and sense. Good fortune and bad came in equal measure, the just were saved and the wicked punished. In real life, there was no limit to misfortune. You could fall and fall, and never reach the bottom. I had thought myself owed some happy twist of fate, some future good luck, but I knew now that it was only a dream. I was owed nothing. The ground beneath my feet was fragile and unstable, it could shift and break at any moment, no matter what I did.

I finished Hungerstone and I gotta be honest I didn't see the hype. Like great, lesbians vampires, some lavish writing but ultimately just boring. The book is predictable from start to finish which is wild cause I don't read vampire novels. It is so transparently the author working through some great anger or disservice, which I'm okay with, but most books written as a form of therapy are not interesting reads unless the author is willing to be unbearable vulnerable- which this lacks. Carmilla could be a deeply fascinating character but instead is a flat plot device with no dimension. The lack of depth explained away by giving Lenore permission to not care about the answer to her questions is really just the fact the author does not need Carmilla to be a rounded character, she only needs her as an engine. Not a love story, goes light on the descriptions of the grotesque for a horror, not nearly eerie enough for a gothic. All in all the writing was still pretty. Wasn't awful, wasn't great, just fine. More nitpicky- author uses the word heather 26 times, like you could use something else to describe the landscape....
