The Book Pages: Your 2026 reading plan, plus 10 new books out this week

What’s the plan – you do have one, right?

No, not one for your estate or your budget or your life choices – sure, fine, do those too – but considering the purview of this newsletter, I’m asking about your reading plan in 2026.

At a time when many have already abandoned their New Year’s resolutions, regular readers of this newsletter, I know, remain serious about their reading goals and tracking them. You’ve told me so when I’ve written about wanting to read more while being resistant to keeping a log of what I’ve read.
