Our 2026 Reading Goals
Leggy: Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season – I know I did. I was off from January 1st through the 4th, and I spent that time relaxing and reading, which couldn’t have been more perfect. When we were putting together our best and worst books of 2025, I realized I was still behind on my Goodreads goal of 70 books. It turns out Goodreads had double-counted two titles, and…

An Asian content creator popped up on my feed talking about this book and I sent it to you and suggested we read this. Taynement: Yep! It was a book by a Nigerian…

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid: If you have been a long time reader of the blog then you know how much I love me some TJR, in fact I ranked all her books here. I was excited to read this one but it pains me to say that it didn’t hit the way the…

We Chit Chat: My Parents' Marriage by Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond
Leggy – I’d never heard of this book before you asked for us to read this together. Also, I thought it was a nonfiction book about the author’s parents’ marriage, and I went into it without knowing anything about it. Taynement – Yeah, I saw it on Instagram from a follower, and it looked interesting. I love me an African family drama plot. I found it quite interesting, not necessarily because of…

We Chit Chat: Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“I’m growing old and the world has changed and I have never been truly known.” Leggy: I finally finished Dream Count. What were your overall thoughts? Taynement: Definitely not the best we’ve got from Chimamanda. Leggy: I found the book very disjointed.
