Booksology What makes me hesitant to call this list completely extensive is the obvious lack of diversity. There are only two lists by authors of color within the overall top 20 list (Kin by Tayari Jones and Night Objects by Eli Raphael), and the expanded list by genre doesn’t look much better. It’s kind of wild to think about 2026. As a side note, Jones Kin It has been named “Book of the Year” on quite a few lists.
What the most popular book clubs are reading now
The book club is in a really tough situation right now, but I can’t complain. There are general books, niche books, big name books, and small books. Jamie Canabeth breaks down what some of the biggest book clubs are reading this month. The selection is a good mix of new It Books for 2026 (such as John of John by Douglas Stewart, selected by Roxanne Gay’s Book Club) and backlist titles (such as The Emperor of Joy by Ocean Vuong, selected by book influencer Jack Edwards’ Book Club, The Inklings).

The winners of the 61st Nebula Award have been announced.
This year’s Nebula Awards has become even more special with the introduction of two award categories: Poetry and Comics. I have to admit that I’m a little surprised that the comics category was added now. Especially when you consider how many great sci-fi and fantasy comics are released every year. That said, the “Poetry” category is pleasantly unexpected.
As for the winners, one of my favorite books of last year, Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones, won the Nebula Award for Novel. In the novella award, I’m not surprised that Amal El-Mohtar’s The River Has Roots is the winner. I haven’t read it, but I did read “This Is How You Lose the Time War,” which I loved. There was also a moment when it became a hot topic on Twitter. It’s a good time.
Voted that members of the House of Representatives have the power to appoint the Librarian of Congress.
In the latest work America fights for eternal souls Just yesterday, members of the House of Representatives passed a bill that would block the president from appointing the Librarian of Congress (which is exactly what Trump wants for a second term). This came a year after President Trump fired the person who held the position, trailblazer Dr. Carla Hayden. The bill is currently in the Senate, but will need significant bipartisan support to pass. If the Senate votes yes, the leaders of both chambers would have the power to appoint the heads of the Library of Congress and the Government Publishing Bureau.
