Wyrd & Wonder 2026 - Announcement & TBR

Happy Friday everyone!  Today I'm sharing my  tbr for Wyrd & Wonder 2026 which is a month long celebration of all things fantasy co-hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, imyril @ There’s Always Room For One More, Ariana @ The Book Nook, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Jorie @ Jorie Loves A Story (artwork by Varvara Gorbash).  Wyrd & Wonder has quickly become a highly anticipated online event these last few years.  It's such a cool way to challenge myself to enjoy more fantasy.  As usual, I have some fun stuff planned around my part of the internet this month - and my regular weekly posts will have a fantasy flavor.  You can follow the Bluesky account here and there's even a Discord server called Otherworlds to keep track of all the chatter this month.  Without further ado, let's get to what I hope to read this month.  No guarantees that'll I'll be able to actually get to a fraction of these, but at least I'll have plenty of books to pick from for my reading pleasure.

Books I Own:

Cry Wolf (Alpha and Omega #1) by Patricia Briggs - This is set in the same world as the Mercy Thompson series and I'm checking it out for the Beat The Backlist 2026.

The Devils (The Devils #1) by Joe Abercrombie - I've been dying to read this and I think this will be the perfect time to read it.  It's also one of my Beat The Backlist 2026 books.

Nightshade and Oak by Molly O'Neill - After how much I loved Greenteeth, I've been dying to read this.  I'm also reading this for Bookforager's Picture Prompt Book Bingo 2026.

Ombria in Shadow by Patricia A. McKillip - This looks like it might be right up my alley.  This is one of my challenge books for The 52 Book Club's 2026 Reading Challenge.  Plus, I've also featured it in my Books From The Backlog.
