My Year in Books for 2026: Meme



 


Anne at My Head is Full of Books was looking at old posts and she stumbled upon this one, an old meme, My Year in Books, from 2017. Thinking it was pretty fun and creative, she decided to do it again. She created a list last year and had a lot of fun with it. So I decided to join in, too. Why not?

My Year in Books

Rules?
  • Answer the questions with titles from books you read in 2025. (Some may end up being silly, others may seem overly serious.)   
  • The goal is to have fun. 
  • Participate by copying the questions below. Erasing my answers and inserting you own.  
  • Once you've created your post, link it below so others can see it, then visit others' posts to see how they answered the questions.
  • Spread the word. Let's see if we can make this a thing again this year!

Questions:


In high school I was: On the Hippie Trail (Rick Steves)



People might be surprised: How to Be Perfect (Michael Schur)



I will never be: Dealing with Dragons (Patricia C. Wrede)



My fantasy job is: The Happy Writer (Marissa Meyer)



At the end of a long day I need: Room for Everyone (Naaz Khan)



I hate it: Paris in Ruins (Sebastian Smee)

My family reunions are: Exquisite (Suzanne Blade)

A happy day includes: Big Magic (Elizabeth Gilbert)

Don't take your titles too seriously or judge the actual plot line of the book in your answers. Have fun with this.
