Are you looking for new books to read in 2026? Bookriot just released their 2026 Read Harder list, which challenges you to read books you might not otherwise have picked up by giving you specific categories to tackle, like a book set in space or a YA book by a Latine author. (May we suggest Oakland-set "Shut Up, This is Serious" by local author Carolina Ixta? https://oaklandlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S183C3611986)
