Die Trying/It's Not What You Think/The Death Bed Vlog  Reading 3 Thriller ARCs In Our NEW HOME 🏡🔪...
‪@EmmaReadsCrime‬ collab vlog -  My Book Bestie Chose My BEST BOOK OF 2026....
The Good Girl Vlog - The BEST Book Mail of 2026 😭✨ | New Releas...

Okay so I did NOT expect these results and I genuinely cannot stop thinking about them. 😱

I used a ranking quiz that pits every book against each other until you get a full list from worst to best. And guys. GUYS. Some of the placements absolutely floored me. Books I thought I loved ended up lower than I expected. And books I thought were mid? Sneaking into the top 10. It was chaos. Beautiful, chaotic, book nerd chaos. 🤯

This is my full Q1 2026 reading ranked from worst to best. All 29 books. No holding back. Yes, I share my real thoughts on Freida. Yes, Dissection of a Murder almost broke me (in the best way possible). And yes, I will be doing this every quarter because it is SO much more fun than picking a list myself.

Drop a 🐱 in the comments if you watched to the end. And tell me: do you agree with my No. 1?
