IN EACH POST I WILL HIGHLIGHT A BOOK
TODAY’S BOOK HIGHLIGHT IS THE MISTERS!
TWISTED SPICY SERIES-COMPLETE ROMANCE
DESCRIPTION
SERIES COMPLETE!
THERE’S A MISTER FOR EVERYONE…
Mr. Perfect
He is SO Alpha! Ellie is the “celebrity concierge” at Stonewall Entertainment. She’s good at it. On most days. Just not the day her new boss, McAllister Stonewall, shows up and catches her secretly sexting in his debut executive meeting.
Mr. Romantic
He’s SO DARK! Ivy is the “preacher’s daughter” and she’s desperate for a job when a sweet opportunity comes in from the infamous Mr. Romantic. Nolan Delaney might be deliciously hot, but he’s got a dark side lurking under that charm.
Mr. Corporate
He’s SO Prince Charming! West wants a girl who needs him and Victoria can handle things just fine on her own, thank you. But now that West is back, so are all her old secrets. Like it or not, she might need him to save her.
Mr. Mysterious
He’s SO Off Limits! Cindy does not give a crap about the best-friend’s-little-sister rule. She wants Mr. Mysterious all to herself. He’s dangerous, and moody, and probably shouldn’t be drinking whiskey for breakfast. But lucky him—she’s willing to be his partner. Everyone needs a team, right? She’s not afraid of a little scandal
Mr. Match
He’s SO Right For Me! Katya is a girl with secrets. Is she a Russian spy? A liar? Or just a lost girl who fell in love with the “right” wrong man? Meeting Mr. Match four years ago changed her whole life. Who knew fate would intervene just when all hope was lost? But she should’ve known better. She doesn’t deserve him.
Mr. Five
He’s SO Not Getting Away! Rory and Five were best friends, childhood sweethearts, and the definition of soul mates. Nothing could ever come between them. Except Five thinks she’s better off without him. But Rory Shrike wants her man back. And not even the genius brain of Mr. Five will stop her.
Mr. & Mrs
Is it the wedding of the century? Or a disaster in the making? All the Misters are gathered together on Five’s island paradise for the most outrageous wedding ever!

MY ANSWER
I am releasing so many books in 2026, it’s insane. Since I took most of 2025 off, and all the books I did actually release in 2025 were written in 2024 or earlier and I wrote every day until July, then every day again in September to now, I have a LOT of books that have been written but not released.
You’re seeing some of them here in the Giveaways – Her Chains, Her Choice Mafia Romance – Spring 2026 Release with the audiobooks by Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor.
And Book of Legion – Dust and Flowers etc novellas. Winter novella release, Summer Omnibus release with the Audiobook narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Summers.
But I haven’t even barely mentioned the Dark-Dark Romance series that starts next Friday with the Triple Xmas Christmas Story – a 6-book super-dark, super spicy series that will release weekly January 2026-February 2026.
So my first half of the year is filled and that’s not even including my pen name project (two of them actually) one I will tell you about because it’s relevant, one I won’t because trust me, it’s a Trucker Post-Apocalyptic serial that you guys will have NO interest in. But it’s already written, I just never released it. So that’s on the schedule.
And… I still have to finish the first leg of the Sacred Trinity Series – Town Disciple. Two books missing from that first set that will get written in 2026 for sure, but possibly released in 2027 as I wait on audiobook production.
AND – the third Game of Gods Romantasy book. (OUTLANDS, it’s called) I know some of you are really waiting on this and I sincerely apologize for the long interval between books. But Game of Gods takes me a really long time to write compared to some of these others. So I need the down time to focus. That will come in the fall of 2026, I suspect. So looking at a 2027 spring release.
If I have time at the end of 2026 I will start the third and final SICK WORLD book.
My year is full. But at least I don’t have to move house this year (to a whole other state!) I’m 100% settled for the next several years. Bought my little Iowa house cash, so I’ll just be here saving up to buy the Wyoming ranch (cash) for a while. 🙂 I refuse to take out a mortgage. Refuse. My monetary goal for 2026 is DEBT FREE. I’ve got a car loan, a truck loan, an RV loan… so yeah. Gonna be paying shit off little by little.
P.S. Just FYI – the reason I have so many novellas is because that’s mostly what I wrote last year. I fully intended on releasing them over the summer and fall but the whole house-selling thing got in the way.
So they’re piled up and just need to go out.
And who doesn’t like the cumulative psycho-stress of weekly releases, amiright? lol
AND HERE is a sneak peek of tomorrow’s giveaway!
Make sure you stop by and enter!
BTW – THERE ARE SIX FUN WAYS TO STAY IN TOUCH with me.
ONE – I ust got myself a TIKTOK ACCOUNT! yes, I know, I know. I’m years behind he times. I just really don’t like socials and I didn’t want a new one. But I finally took the plunge.

I also want time to focus on myself and do something I love whether reading or a movie or visiting friends.
My goal for 2026 to spend more time planning fun! I tend to get lazy and then wait till the last minute to make plans.
My goal is to eat a bit healthier.
My husband is turning 50 so hoping to celebrate that with a trip to somewhere warm!

My goal for this year is to keep my job lol. With the political climate both federally and on a state level teachers are no longer guaranteed jobs no matter how long you have been there so every year is exhausting with worry to stay on your game. So I want to stay on my game for my kiddos because no one really wants to teach alternative school kids.
Celebrating my 50th next year and after a rough 2025 my goal is to focus on positivity and manifest good things into my life.

Staying healthy, traveling and enjoying life.
To read more books and maybe not work so much. More family time.

I’m going to kick cancers ass in 2026!
To spend more time with family and not worry so much!
My main goal is to purge a ton of ‘stuff’ this year. I have too many things that I simply don’t need and at some point we will downsize so it’s always a great time to start getting rid of the clutter. I’d also like to eat better but that’s my goal every year lol
Cheers and thanks xx
Im really sick so my main goal is survival. Also to get my daughter through graduation. Which is a big deal for her.
I plan on reading more!
In 2026 I will maintain my happiness and increase my exercise through biking and paddle boarding; I will find the sweet professionally and add travel into this years plan! Health and happiness!
My goal for 2026 is to resign from my second job and run my quilt shop full time. I am so close to doing it I can see it. It makes me think of Ellie in Mr Perfect and her dream job.
Focusing on my mental health and trying to be happy.
I normally don’t set a goals. The pressure and potential disappointment do nothing for me 😂 I just want to read, keeps my kids happy and healthy, and plan an epic post-deployment trip for my hubby.
Well, first I plan on reading all of your new releases.
DIY around the house, my library needs some work.

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
So I started my weight loss journey this year and so far I lost 40 pounds I want to continue that into 2026. I am I just I don’t know if I need to smudge my house and myself in my car. 2025 has been rough from beginning to end. So for 2026 I just want a nice relaxing year that is my goal to not let a little things get to me so much to not focus on all the bad things that are happening and focus on the good.
My goal/challenge for 2026 is to finish the remodeling of our townhouse. The living room/dining room is the only thing left. Paint, flooring and furniture.
Health, family, happiness.
Ooh, all my goals for 2026… Well, just to list a few as it is still a work in progress…
* Be the best nanny ever – grandson due April
* Get back to my hobbies – I put them on the backbone far too much despite them bringing me so much pleasure and calm
* To continue to improve my health – to drop meds, to drop weight, to drop mental fatigue
* To read more – put down the phone and doomscrolling and indulge in pages!
* To improve my finances – New job, new income streams
Gonna make a mood/vision board to help achieve these and more!
My goals are to try to get out more, be happier, and just to be less stressed so it doesn’t effect my grandsons as much. Also not to let my depression and my Fibromyalgia define who I am any longer.
My goal of 2026 is to get my family in a new home and to be happy wherever we are together(I’m bad at seeing all the negative and not looking at the positive in my life).
I never really set goals but i will try not to be in such control of everything, especially those things out of my control.
2026 goals are to stress less about the small things. And to enjoy every minute with my family. I want to make amazing memories with my children and grandchildren. Life is too short to stress the small things but my brain is just not listening. Lol
We bought a new caravan in 2025 so 2026 is the year of adventures!
For 2026 my goal is to continue working on being a healthier me
Oh gosh! I’ve never read The Mr.’s series!
I don’t ever have any goals beyond getting through my days , one foot in front of the other. All the happy little accidents that happen between times are just bonuses, ha!
Happy holidays, Julie! 🎄❤️🎄
My goals are to get healthy and in better physical shape and to start my own little business.
Im still wanting to beat agoraphobia. I may never beat it but I am slowly getting better. 15 years is alot. I also would like to gain a few pounds as I lost a little more than I wanted. I want to also do more outside
Saving money. I would love to build a house this year so definitely want to save money. Also, love this series! BUTTER!
I need to get through tax time. That is my goal.
More travelling and more reading.
My goal is to have better mental health and prioritize myself more.
My 2026 goal is to spend more quality time with family!
My goal for 2026 is to stick to my budget better and embrace the goods parts of my life
My goal is better health for me and my husband. Also sticking to a budget.
I’m not one for goals like I don’t do the New Year malarkey. I just want to survive the year and read more.
My goal is to finally get my teeth fixed
I plan on learning and developing more skills at work.
We’re hoping hubby has a job.
My goal is to go through gastric bypass surgery that I am pretty terrified about.
Our family is also starting fresh with a new house in 2026. Can’t wait to move in. Im terrible about New Years resolutions so I just try to be the best me I can be.
Goals for 2026
– Get back to work. I’ve not been able to work because my knee has been so bad.
– Get knee fixed
– Enjoy every little moment with my first grandbaby 🧡
To get rid of one thing a day that I’m not using by donating or giving it away to friends/family.
To focus on not taking things so seriously.
To get pregnant is my only goal. Fertility is an issue I’m having and I’m finally going to put it first no matter the cost. Going into debt for a child seems like a better thing than debt of things
Mine are the usual, start walking and hope to lose a few pounds. Eat better to help lose those pounds. Read more. Thanks for the chance!
I don’t really set goals for myself but this year I plan to get in better shape physically. I just want to feel better in my skin as I’m getting older
I want to be more active, get out and interact with people
My daughter is getting married in April! So the first part of the year is all about my daughter😂
After that I want to travel more to new places.
For 2026 I want to work on my time management/ organization because I am absolutely horrible with it. I also want to just enjoy every day with my daughters and make sure every year is better than the last, like we already did this year
Stay financially stable. Make a budget and stay with it.
Find a new job or at least transfer outta my store. Be more active
Continue to push past my comfort zones but also to step back to enjoy what is actually important to me.
my goal is to finish this giant custom diamond painting of my mom (who past away four years ago) and her great grandchildren. This year I made 500 greeting cards
My goal is to be better. To myself, work, friends. I need to not check out on life, and be in it more.
My first is to officially become full time at work, I’m currently only part time but almost working full time hours due to short staff so I want to make it official.
Second I want to actually read more of my physical TBR because I’ve read maybe 5 physical books all year and I have to many to count. I keep reading on my kindle.
I think I also want to finish paying off my car if I can next year too.
My goal for 2026 is to travel abroad. These past few years I’ve holidayed in the UK but I’m determined to save up and have some flying to other countries trips.
I don’t do goals and resolutions, but I sure would like to be less busy next year. Just saying.
It wasn’t something I anticipated doing in 2025, but we became debt free! I figured it would take at least one more, maybe two years to get the mortgage paid off, but then my mother in law passed away, and we used inheritance to accomplish it. Now we’re focusing on putting as much in savings as we can so that we can pay cash for a house. That’s my goal for 2026, move east and buy a house
I don’t set any goals, I just want my kids to succeed since they both have exams and competitions this year.
I don’t set goals or resolutions. I just hope to be a better version of myself next year.
To spend a lot more time with my granddaughter and to do more self care and enjoy my time. Also more reading as well.
After two years of being unemployed, I finally got a job! Therefore, my goal is the same as yours – to become debt free. It will probably take longer than 2026, but it will be a great start!
My 2026 goals are to read more books, make at least 4 crochet zombie dolls for my friend’s craft shows, and to work towards learning more at work.
My biggest goal for 2026 is to land this promotion at work. It includes company car for business & personal use, plus a salary that is double what I make now. I’ve been working toward it for the past 6 months, and I’m nearly there! This will change my girls & my lives, and my kids are my world. I want to be able to provide for them everything they need and want.
I desperately want to get caught up with going through all of my wildlife photos. I’m so behind.
Whenever I consider all the things I want to accomplish the whole ‘paralysis by analysis’ thing sets in and I wind up accomplishing very little (at least that’s how it feels).
One thing I’ve been determined to do is to identify my great-grandfather. This story is actually quite entertaining if you are in the soap operas. My great grandmother became pregnant with my grandmother through an affair. She wound up marrying someone else and putting HIS name on my grandmother’s birth certificate when she was born a mere seven months after they married. Thanks to everyone who has matched with me through DNA I have at least narrowed down the family and generation he was from. I tried messaging my closest DNA match but I think the idea of that one of their parents or grandparents had an affair didn’t sit well. It almost felt like I was asking for money or something, which I find hilarious but apparently the English do not. Getting closer every day though.
To be more motivated and focus on my health
I don’t know what my goals for 2026 are. Lose 30 lbs, focus on reading more of my physical TBR, get more organized (adhd makes staying organized really difficult).
I haven’t thought about goals. I guess I’m always on the go with a 15 year old I only think about her not wanting something so I can sit on my booty all day one day. I would love to be debt free but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
I don’t set goals so I don’t disappoint myself! I am my worst critic!
I want to get fully qualified to drive and pass my test, and I want to successfully plan, pay for and take my three trips abroad this year.
I plan to stay more active and eat healthier.
My main 2026 goal is to do updates to our little house – remodel bathroom, new kitchen countertops and new patio.it will be the first major updates since 2015 so I’m excited.
I have a few goals for 2026….to me more active, read more, less procrastination and more motivation….and finally, to make more time for me….for me to stop putting myself last
My goals of 2026 are: Move, get a good job and downsize the amount of excess items I have.
I have a few goals for 2026. One is spend more time with my family. The other is clean out a couple of our buildings and hopefully get rid of a bunch of stuff we do not need.
No big plans. Just want my family to be happy and healthy and continue making memories little and big.
To have a better 2026 than this year was! Lol, this just really wasn’t my year. So I’m planning on focusing more on healthy eating and exercise, since the majority of my problems this year were health related.
My goals for 2026 is retiring and traveling. Making up for years working too much and not stopping to smell the roses.
Get healthy and stay alive.
My 2026 goals (if you can call them that) are Reno’s and relaxation mixed with reading and travel. .
I will also be working on my stain glass skills!
2026 Goals: Do a job that I enjoy; get in shape and just get healthier.
Taking my husband on a nice vacation just the two of us.
Continue training for Spartan races – finish my projects.
Retiring and pivoting to all the projects that I havent had time to do …. including pulling up a beach chair and reading so many books that I’ve purchased, but didnt have time to read onh and also i need to lose 15 pounds because the holidays wreck me. Looking forward to all of your book releases Julie. Especially the Outlands when you get that one done. If I die before I finish reading the Game of Gods series, someone here needs to send me copies in Hell because I’m gonna be really agitated if I never know what happens to Clara Birch.
My biggest goal is to renovate my new home. We bought our first house in June of this year. I want to start with my room. The master bedroom came with a sunroom. I want to make the sunroom my home library with floor to ceiling shelf’s on all the walls. I’ve already painted the walls in the room and light coral color. And I want to paint the book shelf’s a sage green. Add a comfy chair and change the light fixture to a chandelier. After that hopefully finish the project I started in the living room. I’m saving my kitchen renovation for last. It needs to be gutted and redone completely.
I don’t think I’ll be making goals. After last year’s traumatic unexpected passing of my mother during the holidays I’m just afraid to plan ahead, make goals. So I’ll be taking things one day at a time.
Not necessarily goals but a mantra, living my best life!
I never really set goals for the new year but I guess if I was going to I would continue on my weight loss journey and try to hit my goal. I started in March 2025 at 340 pounds and as of today Dec 7th 2025 I am 248. I still have about 60 pounds left to lose.
Continue to read daily. Exercise more
2025 didn’t go as expected and I currently find myself without employment. So figuring that out is a huge goal.
Additionally I’d like to spending more time painting, travel some and knock several our our bigger house goals off the list.
Urm my only goal for 2026 is to get accepted into my grad scheme program for cyber security / penetration testing…. wish me luck! 🙂
Try to loose weight and get healthier due to my liver. Wish me luck! 😁
My goal is to visit my mom at least twice in 2026. Im a caregiver for my FIL and it limits my ability to visit her. Luckily for me she is a healthy, happy 81 year old.
Mine is to start chair yoga
I have 2 main goals…. Lose 25 more lbs and get a promotion at work. Crossing fingers on both 😁😁
My biggest goal is for my fiance and I to get a house before we tie the knot in October of next year.
Hike the Camino in Spain.
My goal for 2026 is to get my to be read list down or make it bigger lol….and to open my library to reading more different kinds of romances…
My goals for 2026 are to be healthier and try to walk everyday. I also would like to take a CNA course and pursue that. Over all just better my life and be a happier, healthier person 🙂
This will be my year to find balance in my life, to remember to take time for myself sometimes, and to occasionally very politely say no 😊
My one big goal is to get my mental and physical health better than it is. Spend more time with my new grandkids if possible. And hopefully have my mom and dad another year, they are both 85 and struggling. But they still live in their own home a few doors away from me their primary caregiver.
Read more books lol. Go out more.
My goals for 2026 are to keep all of us from going insane when we move again!
Not sure what my goals for 2026 will entail. Hopefully just another happy year.
Celebrating my 25th anniversary, expecting another grandnugget. Just being happy and healthy with no drama.
I don’t make goals because I know I’ll end up not falling through.
Thanks for the chance!
So many goals! Debt free, cleaning my house and getting rid of unused stuff that is piling up!
To have more me time traveling, reading and just enjoying life.
I have RA and suffer with a lot of pain so I don’t make plans.
My one and only goal for this next year is to try to make sure my husband survives losing his health insurance when he has severe heart failure and diabetes. Our 8yo daughter needs her father.
I would like to be more active and social next year. I need to get myself out of the house.
Survive
Would like to improve a few things around the house
Enjoy life more.
I have a few goals for 2025. I want to sell my RV, and I don’t want another one. I want to continue my weight loss. I list almost 50 lbs last year. I want my children who are adults to become more independent & they need a kck in th pants to get there. So I plan to di that, just not sure what that looks like.
I have been working on self love this past year and am wanting to follow up with that next year. I turned 50 and thought it was high time I stop the negative self talk and just learn to be more accepting of myself and enjoy each day in all the small and big ways. It sounds like a lot but I have been taking baby steps and just hope to continue forward with that
To find my way out of the grief from losing my dad, Oct 29th.
This will be a rest year. No big projects, not taking on more task. Finish up the house and catch up on reading are my goals 😅
My professional goal (I’m an early childhood special education teacher who teaches children with autism) is to retired strong with dedication to my students and coworkers. This will be my last full year teaching in this way. I will officially retire spring 2027.
Personally: I want to spend more time with my family and create memories! Oh and read all the books you will be releasing! And as always increase my horsemanship and connect with my horses. I want to continue building confidence and control at faster speeds and go to 1 competition with a trainer/coach and 1 competition alone.
Financially pay off debt and save money!
This year I wanted to read every day – I’m going to achieve this. Next year I think my goal needs to be to get healthier. I need to drink more fluids, loose some weight, start some sort of exercise program again. And sort more of the house out – get rid of stuff, be more organised. But I think just develop some better habits.
2026 goal is to get out of debt and always focusing on my mental and physical health.
My main goal will be to declutter my home and make it easier to take care of now that I am mostly an empty nester. With two huge dogs, I need more space and less stuff.
To be happy, spend time with my best friend and listen to all the audiobooks I want!!
I’m not sure that I really have a goal for 2026. I have wishes like for the trucking industry to get better so my husband’s trucking company stays going (3 trucks). I hope my health stays getting better and that I’m done with surgeries. I’m just run down that I give up on goals for now.
Goals for 2026….read more, I didn’t get to read as much this year with my mom’s health care and all, but I definetly have a TBR list as long as my arms and legs put together! Also, camp more, we love camping and plan on more trips this coming year. Spend more time with my siblings and friends and family and DOGS!
My goals for the new year is to get my bathroom remodeled and my yard needs major maintenance from the 17 trees I had removed. I also want to continue to eat healthier.
To get a 100% fit after major operation in October, my cancer came back this year & over had to have my bladder taken away
My 2026 goal is to get better organized in our home/family life.
We are needing to move into a bigger home, closer to my partners work. To do that we have to make different choices budget wise- so I’ll be focusing more on learning to budget and coupon like a boss lady on one of those coupon shows 🤣
To live my life to the fullest!
I don’t set goals or resolutions for the new year, instead I live each day with an objective to do a good deed, be happy, show kindness and be as productive as my body will physically let me be. I live for the joy of my family and am thankful for their love, help and support each day. 💕
My goals for 2026 are to redesign my garden beds and to paint more watercolour pictures.
Staying in one place for a while.
Getting the rest of my things from my husband’s dad’s house.
My main goal is to get in a better place financially, like most of us! The last couple years have been really really hard, with a lot of unexpected changes that I never thought would happen! When I say I have struggled this year, I mean I struggled. At one point my bank account was going to close because I didn’t have the minimum of $5 in there. So, big goals for 2026!
We are the keepers of several generations of stuff. It is so hard to place value monetary senamental and historical on items. A lot of this needs to be gone from our home, one way or another. It’s a daunting task but needs tackled. I hope it’s not my answer to same question next year
My 2026 goal is to be happier and healthier. After a bit of a scare a couple of months ago I want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
My goal for 2026 is to just be positive. Not let anything or anyone bring me down. No negativity
Well, this year I have a child graduating, so we will be doing an 18th birthday party in February, then a graduation party in the summer. This is the last year I will be taking her to Rockfest, unless she can manage the time to go again after this summer.
We will ne moving her into her dorms in August.
Other plans are to “try” and read the books on my shelves that I haven’t read yet, before buying more books. (Probably not gonna happen, i buy at least 1 new book everytime I go to the store)
Other than that, no other plans really. We usually just do stuff on a whim.
I guess those really aren’t goals
So I guess my goal is to keep myself and my kids happy, healthy and safe.
2026’s biggest goal would be to get to a steady comfortable place with our income. To not have to choose which bills get paid this month and which ones have to wait. That would be the best thing I could hope for. On the smaller goals side, I would love to lose a little weight, to not feel so depressed and be a lot happier and get out and enjoy more life has to offer with my family.
mine would be to continue to work on my health.
I want to do better managing my work-related anxiety and work/life balance. I’ve been internalizing a lot of the pressure and it’s been showing up in my body.
Hope to get our kitchen redone, it really needs it. But I am sure something else will pop up that needs to be taken care of first.
My goals for 2026 are to pass my nail technician course and become a therapist
To graduate nursing school!! That’s my major goal and then to get my autoimmune disease under control again
Personal goals would be to loose weight and get my office organized. My business goals would be to get my website updated and stay updated
Hopefully i will hit my target weight in 2026.
Overall self improvement
My goal for 2026 is to get healthier and get some my debt paid down and start preparing for retirement in a few years
My goal is to better myself in multiple ways so I can do better for my family
No big plans, hopefully hit my weight goal, and maybe take a vacation.
My goal is definitely to lose weight , but I also want to read more , I have done a lot of audiobooks I kinda feel like I got a little lazy
Honestly, I don’t really have any goals other than to just get back on track from the past 2 years of problems that have pushed us further and further downhill and into debt.
Finish getting my mom’s house cleaned out and sold is the biggest one. Self care. Girl trips.
My goal is to read more physical books. I generally do audio books while doing chores, driving ect, but I miss taking time to sit and read.
Graduate from treatment court and stop smoking!!!!
As I previously mentioned, I am not one for setting goals. However, I am working on my mental health and I think about all the doctors appointments that I need to set. Then there is the fact that I don’t fit into my jeans right now so I should do something about that….new jeans would be easier than the other option. 🤔
My 2026 goals get my house organized. Get rid of alot of things.
2. Lose 25 pounds
3. Read more
I want to read your Trucker Post-Apocalyptic serial. It sounds like a story I’d get into . . .
Anyway, my goals for 2026 . . .
1.) The Last O’Clery Witch is supposed to be released sometime in 2026, so I intend to focus on the release and writing the second book in that series.
2.) Being debt-free.
3.) Moving to a better home but remaining where I’m at on the coast.
4.) Finding an all-natural alternative to lowering my blood pressure. It’s extremely high, and I don’t know why. I’m not overweight, I don’t have a stressful life, and I reduced my salt intake. But I would like to avoid taking a prescription. I don’t trust Big Pharma. At all. Also, a prescription drug might lower my b/p, but ruin my liver. No, thank you.
4.) Continue to better myself, follow my path, continue to awaken, crack open the matrix, stay away from people, be my authentic self, not give a shit what people think of me, and blah, blah, blah – all of the above is an ongoing process. 🙃
Focus on my health more, spend more time with family and keep moving up the ladder at my job.
I am aiming to continue improving my health as best I can. I want to focus on being more organized in all the ways. Those are big enough goals for my happiness. Here’s to a fantastic new year for us all!
My goal is to finish my bedroom redo, and work on paying down some unexpected debt.
My goals are to lose some weight but mainly focus on being healthier. I have had more health issues this year than my entire life and I just want to feel better. My sister and I are going to focus on these goals together and keep each other accountable.

My biggest goal is to help my son get more social and find more toddler friends!!!
I hope your 2026 is everything you hope for! My goals for 2026 are to get our taxes done early (we’ve always filed extensions and finally submit in October). This is important because we own a business and we are building a house. We have all the footing poured for the foundation and the garage slab is so pretty! Getting us in the dry is our main goal and then we can finish the inside at our own pace and with our own hands! So excited to be moving literally out in the middle of nowhere!
Buying property!
My goals are to stop biting my nails , lose weight.
I’m still hoping to get a new job. I’m taking some cources hoping this will help and just to apply at other avenues of work

No goals…
Well, mine is starting Jan 2nd I have surgery for the 2 time on my brain tumor last one was over 2yrs ago, but it started growing again and its causing brain swelling so my goals are to just make it through that and go from there. At least I get to make it through the holidays before the surgery, this is my way of think positive and for recovery I guess there will be bingeing & book 🙂
Not a glamorous one but it is necessary, gotta get some serious declutter done.
My goal is to get all the feral cats spayed and/or neutered. It’s a 3+ hour drive, round trip…3 days and I’m still not guaranteed 1 of 5 spots, and can only do 2 cats in those 4 days, Monday thru Thursday. Plus I’m feeding them all, and have made shelters with heat pads in each cubby. I’m using cat carriers and plastic storage bins. It’s a lot. I moved her to retire and they were all here. I would never not do this for them. They are the innocent ones in all this.

Sorry…it kept telling me that this comment was a duplicte. That I needed to go back.
2026 will be a hard year as my father just passed and I will be taking care of his estate.
My goal for 2026 is to try not to stress so much over the little things for one. Mainly however it is to clean out my house and my 3 storage units. I’m kind of a hoarder like my mother was but she was to the 10th degree. She’s been gone 7 years and two of the storage units I pay for is full of her stuff. It’s too emotional for me to go through but I have to this year. Just can’t afford to keep paying for storage units. It’s time.
The only goal I set every year is to read 150 books.
My goal this upcoming year is to travel more and go hiking more. I’m also getting a golden retriever puppy, so my other goal is to train him
Gonna study poker more seriously. Take all their money!
Staying healthy, get to be a better sourdough baker, play with my new granddaughter, have adventures with my honey and hang with all my girls!!! And make sure to read great books!
With having so much to do how do you find time to RV? Sure you can write anywhere, but are you able to enjoy your destination once you get there?
I have been living the RV travel life since 2021. My goal is to convince my hubby to stop traveling and put down roots for a couple of years.
If not then I look forward to finding a fun work camp spot with a beautiful view and even better weather.
My goals for 2026 is to continue my journey for a healthy me and that’s to start weight training and maintain my weightloss. If love to read at least 100 books and finalize a place to move.
My 2026 goal is to secure my retirement. Do I stay in my current house? Do I downsize? Do I want a new town?
2026 is going to be work. My mom had to put her last horse down and her dog the same day. Since my dad passed my mom has struggled to maintain her 10 acres. I have made it my mission to get everything cleaned up inside and out. She is a bit of hoarder. It will probably take the entire year to clean out her house and her yard. When my dad passed my mom had 4 horses, a burro and 3 dogs. She lost the last 2 horses and 2 dogs in 2024. My mom just turned 77. She is overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done. My goal is to get her property and house manageable for her. Here to 2026!! Cheers
Well I don’t have any exciting goals really, only practical ones. To sort out the Garage finally as we are entering our 3rd year living here, and it’s supposed to be a craft room for my daughter, to get the garden under control how we want it and to manage all the trees we inherited and make it our space instead of the owner before us’s space. And to get some new side gates and outside lights door plugs wired in. See not very exciting but practical. And one for myself to read as many books as I can.
Pay off my car. Build up some savings. Build a garage or storage shed so I can not pay for a storage unit.
To retire!
Just to make it through another year
I’m just not a goal setter .. but I am trying to better myself but I’m not measuring it
Just to have a happy and healthy year for me and my family

A goal I have for 2026 is to start living my life for myself and not for other people!
As the primary caregiver of my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, getting g to florida next month is the goal. My son joined national guard and leaves for training in March. Lots of moving parts for a couple months but I hate the cold Secondary goal is to see DJT gone for good my any means necessary esp with my son joining the guard. I literally can’t anymore
Travel and be with family and friends more.
My goal is to get promoted in Dec/Jan and to to find a house big enough for us and my in laws that i love for a great price.
I want to take my son to Disney, be more financially stable, and maybe find a new job
Find a job after being made redundant
I don’t usually set goals, that way I am not disappointed when I don’t make them. But if I have any to make for 2026 it would be to lose some weight and get in better shape. I have my first grandbaby due in June. and it would be nice to get up and down off the floor to play with the baby.
I would like to travel and I need find a very good job with the perfect shift😊😊😊😊
My big plans are to loose the last 60lbs. I am down 67lbs this year so far. 60 more to go.
My 2026 goal is the same as my 2025 goal: get published. I’d probably be better off making my goal to actually be able to write instead of getting published, because my muse packed up and left town quite a while ago. And that bitch must be on a round-the-world tour or something. 😂
My goals for 2026 is to get caught up on bills etc, but also hope to get to Iceland and enjoy my trip to Cuba in February.
My big plans for The year or to get my Va rating upgraded help my son get started with college because he graduates high school this year And maybe get some bills paid off
2026 goals are to get in better shape so I can hike further, longer, faster. I need to get my kid graduated and safely into the hands of the Marine Brethren-he’ll ship in late June (it’s coming so fast!).
To find my happy. Like so many others, it’s been a long struggle.
My hubby turns 60 next April and he really wants to visit Scotland. So we have our flights booked and paid for, a couple of lodgings booked. My only set goal for 2026 is to finish planning for that trip to ensure he has a fabulous experience 💖
My fiancé and I have two goals this year: getting married and buying our first house!
My number 1 goal is to be able to work more. This year has been a struggle.
I’m going to continue my health and weight loss journey and hopefully get to enjoy life a little.
One goal is to grow my bookstagram page and enjoy the community it entails. Im going to my first book convention in July, but I’d like to have more experiences like that! My life has Been stuck and on hold for years.
My goal is to get a new job and then get with a financial advisor to see when I can retire.
My goal is not that big. I’d like to find another hobby besides puzzles, crochet and reading and listening to books. 😂 I wish I could paint but sounds like another expensive hobby. I wish I could find a cheap one that leaves me as happy as the rest. Books read in a day, puzzles in 2 days. Crocheting is the only hobby where the money lasts longer 😂
Have a better work life balance
One of my big goals is to be financially stable enough to travel so I can meet my first grandson it’s so hard not having met him in person but I adore all the pics and texts but definitely needing that in person contact. Another goal is to get my health on track try to figure out all that’s going on to take care of things and get my autoimmunes set with a good plan to treat them. One last goal is to get out more and go to some book events.
First: I need to heal and get healthy again. Then I need to get caught up on ARC reading, I’ve let my authors down by missing deadlines. I want to spend more time with family and friends.
2026 has got to be better.
1. Finish the Divorce 🎊
2. Financial Peace💰
Pay off my House
Pay off all Debt
3. New job 👩💼 maybe going back to school 📚
My goals are traveling, hiking new areas and just being happy where I’m at.
I turn 40 on 12/9 so my 2026 goal is to really learn to dive deeper in my hobbies. I get super overwhelmed with not just knowing how to do something. Like I can sew and I have a sewing machine but I really want to make a few quilts I have everything, fabric, etc etc etc but the overall task for whatever reason is just daunting, I need to let go of being perfect from the start and just try. So my goal is to be happy with not being perfect but definitely putting in the effort and start trying. Living in imperfection.
One of my goals for 2026 is to get out of the house more.
1. To find patience a little easier.
(It’s hard with my 3yr old Grandchild and daughter living with me.)
2. To build my savings back up.
3. Read / listen to 500 books.
Biggest goal survive the year . Been an emotional struggle this year going on the second one with out my oldest finding a new norm while pushing through.I don’t want to make huge plans but that’s the biggest one the second smaller things are to be more creative make some of the things have in my head to make try new recipes do new things
My goal for 2026 is to take better care of my overall health. Probably start by eating a little better. And also read more!
One goal that i have is to review more audiobooks instead of just jumping into the next one! Fingers crossed for the 3rd book in The Sick World series. 🤞
MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄⛄
My goal for 2026 is to get things more organized and work on finishing up projects around the house.
Well based on your goals, I plan to read all of the books you release next year. My big goal, though, is to retire. My paperwork is turned in and waiting for approval.
Oh goodness there is a short list!
1. Get my body back in shape after having our little one.
2. Ties in with one but work on myself, get my “pink” back
3. Dig into my new role at work!
4. Family before everything else ❤️
5. Of course read all the books 😍
I’m going to try to take more time for myself and give myself some self care. The older I get I’m realizing that it’s not selfish to take time out for myself.
To travel more…
My big plan for the coming year is to do some traveling. We hope to go to Glacier National Park. This has been n our list for several years and it seems like something happens that we can’t be gone from home for such a long time.
To work on my health and the health of my family, to pay off some debt, and to go on more adventures with my family. I’m also going to get more organized. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄
2026 work less, get into a daily stretching routine and continue decluttering
Oh, wow! All the books you’ve mentioned go right in my books-notebook at your name! 😁💜
I plan on traveling to different places in our state that we haven’t been to yet. My husband and I love road trips!
My goal for 2026 is to survive it. I also hope to have a real bedroom before Summer so I can setup my bookshelf again and have sewing corner. ( I have been ensconced in the dining room since 2012) I hope to go somewhere and do something fun at least once this coming year. That’s about it.
I don’t normally set plans, but since we now own the farm (this year) the plans are pretty boring. Paying of debt, improvements to the cowshed and maybe some long time maintenance on the old farm house.
My 2026 plan is to also get debt free. That was my plan for 2025 but the debt kinda spiraled out of control instead. Being more disciplined kinda goes hand in hand with getting debt free. Another plan, I need to learn to say no and stop letting people take advantage of me, this is another reason the debt got out of control. So in short, be stronger, more disciplined and smarter with my money.
I love the fact that you have so many books being released. I listen to your books on my commute to and from work so the audio book releases are what I am most excited about. Also Jason Clarke is one of my favorite narrators so look forward to hearing his voice again. I am grateful for you mind and passion to write so many different stories.
To stay in good health
To read more books then I buy them. My TBR piles are seriously close to toppling and I’m running out of space to put more.
I don’t usually make big goals, but several small ones. My main goal is to get a bit more organized in my studio to do different crafts and to make more reading time.
2026 goal is to actually move more. I need to actually attempt my steps goal every day!
I have no idea. Trying to find a way out of survival mode and get support for my health issues. I’m just tired. Have to get on with it for my daughter so we shall see.
I’m looking forward to all of your upcoming books. Very glad to hear that you are settled into your new home. I got very excited at the thought of a ranch in Wyoming 😂
I just want to enjoy every moment and enjoy the life we’ve been given. Want to vacation with the family this year.
My 2026 goals are to finish my weightloss journey (halfway there). And build my soap and candle business and get our online presence built.
Turn my side hustle of refurnishing furniture into my main hustle
I’m hoping for a happy and healthy 2026. I’ve lost 6st this year so want to continue with that. I want more time to spend with my family and friends. I’d also like a vacation and a new kitchen so we are trying to save up for that!
I don’t tend to set goals as I know I’m not good at keeping them, lol. I would like to keep up with the “healthy” journey I’m currently on. And as I’m getting older, I’m starting to learn to not give a fcuk about other people’s opinions of what I wear/look like. It’s a hard one, but a good one.
Upcoming plans for the new year… well, I don’t have any. The only plans I have for New Year’s is to score my family a platter of the most delicious empandas ever (It’s a thing here, the place only make so many). Otherwise, I’m just doggedly hanging on.
For next year, my only goal is to continue improving my health (physical, spiritual, and mental) and enjoy my son‘s last year at home to its fullest. We already have a trip to New Orleans plan along with two different World Cup games and are working on a trip of the North East region.
I have two goals set for 2026. Reading goal – 200 books
Travel goal – Mongolia
My goals for 2026 are to not have any medical debt and to travel more with my kids. They’re getting older and wanting to explore more so I’d like to get out of town.
To be more present with my family. i.e. read less.
Next year I plan to improve my mental health by finally seeking the help I need. Mostly so my kids don’t have to see their mon struggle and also to figure out what my next steps are in my career
My goal is to publish my book, successfully run my daughters Etsy shop while she finishes college, and just be happy. 🤍
Im starting a new job in 2026, mid February. So my main goal is to get acclimated with the new company and new employees that I’ll be supervising. My 2nd goal is to pay off some debt. I got a large chunk paid this year so 2026 is to pay off my student loan debt and rest of my one credit card.
My main goal for 2026 is to keep working on my health, and hopefully reach my goal of losing a total of 100 lbs before my daughter’s wedding in June. I’m already down 79 lbs, so only 21 to go!
My two biggest goals of 2026 are to conceive, and to continue to make my bakery flourish 🥹💕
No im not making any goals besides needing to be more active and just want to be happy.
I haven’t given it much thought to be honest. Most of the time I set a goal and don’t completely fulfill it. I’ll just be happy if nothing bad happens to my family.
I don’t have any major plans other than to focus on the family more and finding peace.
I turn 50 in 2026 and my kids are all adults now so I want to stop being such a people pleaser and do more things that make me happy.
2026 goals are to get more organized, purge excess from my home, and stop procrastinating on projects needing done. To set up my “book nook” to relax in and to be happy, healthy, and read a ton!
I don’t know that I want to set goals for 2026. I feel like when I WANT to do something I enjoy it, but when I am EXPECTED to do something I almost always procrastinate or just don’t do it. So maybe I’ll just pick a few things I want to do and see how it goes this year.
Some goals for 2026 for me include getting more active and hiking outside with my husband and pup, start cleaning out one closet/room at a time to help downsize and spend more quality time with family.
I turn 50 in 2026 and my kids are all adults now so I want to stop being such a people pleaser and do more things that make me happy.
I definitely need to get in better shape and also get my mental health in check.
Being healthier and more positive. Organizing my house.

I need to read more and get some massages.
I have to put myself 1st.
I’ll be going to The Hard Rock Tulsa author event in April.
I’m not committing to anything concrete for 2026 but I’ll continue on the same path that I followed for 2025. Try my best to stay healthy, keep my finances stable and prioritize family!
My 2026 goals are to continue to get healthier and to be better organized and not to let stuff that I have no control over stress me out
My 2026 goals are to continue to get healthier and to be better organized

My goal is to make it through the year with no evidence of tumor growth then it will be 10 years since diagnosed with cancer
To get through my TBR list and spend time with the grandkids.
Financial goals for retirement
Complete scanning and cataloguing family pictures, update the family cookbook and make it digital, and continue working on getting to all fifty states….only have 16 left!
I don’t really make any goals, other than my reading goals. It’s usually me just trying to get healthier and get my finances in order. Both of which I usually fail at. lol
Goals are more of a continuation of 2025 since we were derailed with some unfortunate and unexpected events. Continue on the path to healthier selves, physically and mentally. Build our family bond and take a great vacation.
I don’t really make any goals.
I dont make any goals other than reading goals. I take every day as it comes.
I don’t really do goals anymore but of course I’m older. I figure at my age I hope I’ve accomplished all the goals I wanted.
I plan to work on myself this year and to spend more time with my spouse.
Being the best mom I can be. Being a healthier me and losing 60 lbs
I’d like to start a proofreading business for $ versus free
My 2026 is going to busy and full of changes. Since I had my Gastric Bypass in Nov. And my body is in constant flux of change right now. I was in the ER yesterday night for one of those unexpected changes. But I am hoping by Jan. I will have this in a manageable state of working out and being a better healthier me. My family really wants to move back to FL since my father has passed and I’m no longer needed for his care up here. I want to go back home and snuggle my grandbabies. This time we are looking at buying a house so I will be working my little butt off working OT. So as the saying goes new year new me, I’m getting there.
My big goals for 2026:
** Financial – consistent income to re-build for retirement
** Community – make personal connections and get to know my new town
** Home – create original art for and spaces in my new house
My goal for this year is to try to spend less time focusing on things that stress me out and to stop stressing about things I cannot change.
Start up our savings for a house! And a new car hopefully! Also a reading goal I really want to achieve is read 150 books!
2026 – listen and process before speaking. Be more mindful and non judgemental. Take care of my fragile health to enjoy life to the full. Stick to the budget to erase old debt. Listen to the ocean. Oh, and read, read, read.
Hmm, 2026 goals:
1) Oranize and downsize.
2) Go home for a visit.
3) Get myself back on my health path.
4) Get faster at work.
I’d love to finally get back to writing. Also, I must lose weight
My goal for the next year is to be more present, more intentional, more tuned in with the people who really matter to me. To finally start some creative or fun side projects. Would love to keep up my training consistency and want to read even more.
I don’t really set goals. We will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary and my 60th bday next year. Hoping to finally make an overseas trip to France & Italy
My goal for 2026 is to organize my house. I have collected many things over the years and it is a bunch of stuff that I don’t use or even remember what I bought it for so my goal this year is to start in one room and go through and downsize everything and the stuff I’m keeping will be organized so I feel comfortable walking into each room. I think this will make me feel better and have room to enjoy a reading/craft room.
To lose some weight, stop procrastinating so much and work on myself.
My goals are to be healthier and be the best mom I can be
My 2026 goals are lose another 20 lbs I have lost 30 and and have 20 more till my goal weight. I added 10 more books to my overall goal list for the year. My last main gaol is to commit to jogging/running. Just trying to become a better version of myself this year ❤️
My goals for 2026 are:
Get my small business/side hustle/little extra income opportunity up & running. Wish me luck 🍀
Get more movement in my life. I have MS. It messes with my mobility & muscle use.
Get more organized. I’m great in some areas & need some work on others.
Spend as much time as possible with my grandkids 🥰
Keep on reading 📚
I want to continue my weight loss journey maybe I will be at target weight this time next year.
I want to start exercising and continuing to eat healthy.
Have a holiday adventure and spend quality time with my family.
My goal is to survive. I’m struggling. And right now it’s day to day for me.
My goals are to lose weight, work on myself, and get some projects done at my house. My motivation for just about everything left this year… so looking to get that back.
I don’t set yearly goals. Too hard to keep them. I just do my best to be the best I can be.
My main goal for 2026 is to get my daughter’s wedding planned and hopefully be able to pay it off as we go!!! She got engaged in Oct 2024 and finally set a date for Nov 2026 and has just started planning so lots to get done!!
My goal is to work on purging items in my house and paying off debt. This along with figuring out how to help my daughter pay for college without involving her father. I started a new job the end of October and it involves upgrading the system we use for work… hopefully I will succeed in this job as it’s out of my wheelhouse.
Lots of fun with my son! Banana Ball games, Monster Jam, Mountains trip, etc…
Oof. Finish working on my knees. Treatment to prevent needing knee replacement. Stop W-2 work. Not quite retirement…..
I plan on a lot more travel in 2026. My first trip is already booked.
My goal is to stay away from negative people. My extended family is very draining. There is always someone bent out of shape over the smallest thing. It affects all family functions and I am just so tired of it. I want to live my life in a happy positive bubble. I do not want to give my time and space to exhausting people who never change or learn.
I can do all the pt I want, but if I don’t lose weight and strengthen my core my back will continue to be fucked, so that’s my first goal. 2nd goal is to get a full time job in my field. Weight loss will help with that too! Two goals, everything else will then fall into place
I can’t wait to read your new books! My goals for 2026 are to sell a house, help hubby start a new business and have a huge garden!
My goal is to continue my journey in living a healthier lifestyle. To be more positive and take time for myself. That’s hard as a mom, I’m always putting my kids before myself. I do need to take some time for myself as well.
My gaol is to get out more with my husband. He suffers with agoraphobia so it would be amazing to go on holiday together.
Jan 12- knee replacement surgery. Needed it for over 6 years and I finally get to have it done.
I would love to have a new/ new to me home, desperately. We’re working on it but it feels like when you drop something in the back floor board of the car and you can’t quite reach it from the front seat. Ughhhhhh. I’m just starting to loose patience a little, but we’ll get there in the end.
My goal is to finish painting and decorating my home and to get my greenhouse going.
Just get through the day to day. Deainh with a lot of family members health issues. My dad was diagnosed with middle stage Alzheimer’s, my mom & husband both have their own issues.
My goal for 2026 is just to get where we are comfortable in life. Everything paid off, things fixed up and new everything.
My goal this coming 2026 is to learn to say no instead of yes.
One goal is to make it a smooth move and transition to SC. Our family is there and we’re constantly moving around, due to hubby’s job. So hopefully we’re there longer than two years😂 Kids are getting older and I just want them to be happy🖤
1) Learn Atticus.
2) Learn how to, and consistently post, book videos.
3) Publish 5 books.
My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th Anniversary we hope in style. We have had a lot of health problems so we are praying that 2026 will be our good year, to read some of my over 7,000 books., and most importantly continue losing weight.
I’m hoping to get the rest of this house fixed up. Also want to be healthier.
I’m don’t set goals. I just live day by day.
Our goal for 2026 is to clean out, remodel, and reorganize our basement. It doesn’t sound like much, but we have belongings we have inherited from other family members, along with the things we’ve collected over the 28 yrs we’ve been married. It will be a big ordeal, but it will be worth it.
Nothing really planned yet but lots of decisions to make. We need to replace the upstairs flooring, clean out, + reorganize to say the least.
Since I spent the end of the year in a hospital my goal for the new year is to get out and get better without going crazy
Health and family.
First and foremost is to spend all my free time with my daughter. Well with my new job is to try and do my best there. Hopefully that my daughter and myself will move next year. So far that’s my goals.
I want to end next year weighing less than what I started.
My goal for 2026 is to surpass my reading that I will complete in 2026 and to become healthier.
Hopefully to be debt free.
My plans for the year is to hopefully start going to school so I can better the life for my 7 year old twins and just do my best day to day
I have a big girls trip to Scotland planned for May- lots of hiking and hunting for fairy pools in isle of Skye.
I will hopefully move and keep my finances good in 2026.
I have several things happening this year. First we are getting our house together to sell it. So much to do with it. Also have to get myself healthy. So that will take up at least the first 7 to 8 months. Thwn I think we can just relax for a bit.
Last year’s goal didn’t work out so I’m hoping that next year’s goal will work out for me. It’s still the same goal, so fingers crossed.
Probably finish our house and we’ve been piecing together for 7 years pay off mortgage in the same year would be great and just be a better healthier me maybe spend more time with the grandbabies. And always more travel love to travel see new places.
No big plans really. I rarely make goals or resolutions because when I dont meet one im harder on myself than normal. I just try to make sure Im alive, my family is fed and warm and I show love to others as much as my anxiety will allow me too lol
To eat healthier and exercise!
My only goal is to continue controlling my diabetes
My biggest goal is to declutter my living space. It truly has gotten out of hand, I need to get rid of a lot I no longer need. It’s just hard knowing where to attack first 😄
My life has slowed down considerably as I enter my 60s. I am fortunate to have both of my parents and a wonderful husband plus a great bonus grandparent, and my furbaby. Family has always meant so much and I just want to spend the time we have left together.
I love dachshunds. We have our third little furbaby who is now 12 years old. He came to us as a bull headed puppy. I know dachshunds are stubborn, but lordy, this little guy was beyond anything I’ve seen. It took a while, but he finally whipped us into shape. 😂 If you’re a dachshund pawrent you’ll get it. Anyway, not all dachshunds are lucky in their lives, but some are rescued by some wonderful people who need supplies. Besides monetary, I knit blankets for the dachsies to cuddle in. I try to knit every day. This last year I’ve completed two dozen. (I’m not a fast knitter.) I plan to keep knitting daily and sending the blankets to the dachshunds.
Lastly, I read everyday. I use Reading Insights on Kindle to keep track.
That’s about it. Family, knitting for dachshunds, reading. God willing. 🙏❤️
In 2026 I hope to continue to improve my health. I need a new car so saving for that is a must. And I also want to expand my reading into more genres so getting my books made is top of the list.

There is always the weight loss goal but that has been going on for over 30 years so there’s that. After my Mom passed away I have a house full of her stuff and my stuff. My 2026 goal is to make the house my own while keeping the sentiment of both my parents in some way.
To keep my house better organized and to do better with my health. I also want to try to not hold.so many grudges, but at the same time to cut off the people that are only around because they want or need something.
My goals are to eat healthier and walk more

I think my health is going to be my biggest goal this next year. I’ve put it off because of emotional and mental garbage that I had to work through. Now it’s time to work on the physical part.
I want to get my house organized, finish my first novel, and get certified in some computer programs. And probably a dozen other small things that I’m going to put on sticky notes and do a blind pick to get random things accomplished.
To keep my health is check and further my proofreading career.
I know this is always a goal for many and I have had this as a goal myself, but this year I really, really need to be healthier, make better choices for myself before it becomes an even bigger problem. I know what I need to do, it’s the following through that I struggle with, but one of my sisters has the same goals so we are going to hold each other accountable for our actions. I’m sure there is more to do, but this is the most important.
I hope to get healthier this year!!!!!
I hope my business is continuing to grow. I want to be more consistent with my writing schedule and to create a presentation, class I can teach/ present in 2016.
I haven’t made my mind on what goal I’m going to focus to achieve this year coming. I don’t want to overwhelmed myself like I always do and end up just giving up. So this time i decided to just pick one out of the three I most want to achieve and just focus on that one until I achieve it.
I just ho03 2026 is better than 2025. I will probably be moving closer to family on the east coast even if I would rather not. But I will still try to make the best of it.
Cheers 🥂 to 2026
To continue with my workouts, try yoga for the first time, organize and declutter some areas in my home, and to go on a cruise with my friend.

Kings thought this might be my tradition to being a grandma, but none of those on sight yet…hoping to figure out the next phase of what I’ll be doing once I retire…and also, really focus on me. I’ve been a mom for over 30 years with my youngest currently in high school…going through peri menopause (& smoking a lot off weed) has me extra introspective and wanting to prioritize myself more…my physical and mental.

My biggest goal is trying to get some debt paid down. I failed miserably this past year but hopefully this next year will be better. After band stuff calms down I’ll likely look for a second job to help.
Love this series and Ava Erickson is one of my favorite female narrators. I was lucky enough to meet her this summer at a book event in Orlando.
My goals for 2026 personally to save money and curb spending. a book related goal for 2026 is to apply and receive PR mail from a publisher.
2025 has been about surviving. I’d like to get to a place where I’m actually living in 2026. Clean up the house and the yard. Maybe even move.
Get my license back,& stick to a workout plan
My goal in 2025 is to find work want to work in the funeral home business. Just finished getting my grade 12 late in life and want to make sure my son has a good future with all the price raises.
2026** haha
Id like to take 3-4 vacations in 2026 with at least 2 of them being out of the country. I’d like to once again eliminate my debt like I’m used to being and I want to maintain my relationships with my peers of other races in this new world we’re currently living in.
continue to get healthy and get a permanent contract with cbe teaching kindergarten.
This has been a really rough year, honestly just hoping for a better year next year.
2026 Goals – get organized, declutter, get healthy, increase activity.
Continue on my health journey.
Plan my weeks better so I am not so overwhelmed.
My plan for 2026 is to redo my kitchen & flooring. I just have to wrap my head around all the craziness that will bring.
Continue with my healthy journey, manage my finances better, finish my ARC’S on time
I plan to keep working on my mental health
Biggest plan is to lose weight. Next plan is to read more paper books instead of only on my Kindle
My main goal for 2026 keep mental stability, and help my son gain some more independence and responsibility. By the end of 2026 I should have all of my credits for my Associates as well
My goals for 2026:
1. To pay off my credit card debt
2. To go on an actual vacation somewhere because it’s been a while
3. To continue reading my tbr
2026 goal – to finally stop playing it small, shrinking and hiding and actually start that business.
My 2026 goal is to learn Spanish (Duolingo is a nice start but…) and help my mom move into a new place. I have a feeling the latter is going to be a big task.
2026 Goals be more on top of life and less feeling like I’m drowning or treading water.
More family time
More self care time
More enjoying life
No real big plans. Get better on organizing my home. Try planting new veggies.
Just to live a better year than the one before, which hopefully won’t be too difficult considering how 2025 has been.
2026 goals….hmmmmm. survival on lower income until my hubby can find a better paying job. Work on my muscle mass in midst of my weightloss journey and focus on my mental health more.
Vacation:) A nice long vacation
Well since I moved to Puerto Rico in November to live with my sons family, Spanish is no. 1. I also want to be a productive piece of this family. Helping them out while making their everyday lives a little easier. But I guess no. 2 is really getting to know my grandsons. Not professional goals but the most important to me. Family
My goals for 2026 are to have my stoma reversal surgery in January. Yay!!! Then when I can can I need both knees replaced, I’ll start by doing physical therapy before surgery, I hope it all goes well. I’m so ready to be healthy and mobile once again.
My plan for 2026 is to hopefully start a new chapter of my life with a new job.
My goal is be healthier and find a new job
My goals are to spend more time with my mom, improve my health and home – I really, really want to purge belongings. I am a pack rat and it’s a struggle every time I try to get rid of stuff. I have to be in the perfect mood for it to be successful.
My goals are to get to a healthy weight, make a dent in my writing, and possibly get something ready to submit to a publisher, try to have more patience with my family and try to make some new friends.
To keep my little family safe happy & healthy! <3
I don’t usually set goals but I will continue to stay active, read, and enjoy the little things in life.
I’m still working on my health and getting everything figured out. But we’ve figured some stuff out and still working out other stuff. But it’s getting there.
My goal is to be happy and make sure I show appreciation to all the people I love
Wow, right into that one. 2026 is my year of health, hopefully. I’ve spent almost all this year sick with the drs doing nothing to permanently fix the problem. I had a second cancer scare that really freaked me out too. I want to get better next year and I am already on the path to that happening.
I’m also going to plan my 40th holiday. My son turns 16 2 days before I’m 40 so as a family we’re going to New Zealand to do all the things.
I also want to find my photography start for selling my work. I’m proud of my work and want to get it out there, it’s just such a hard market to get into with everyone doing this now. I like pure, raw, unedited and most people don’t appreciate that so it’s even harder for me to have the confidence to do this. I know my style and what I like to work with and am going to try getting it off the ground
My goal for 2026 is too get a Jon with my brand new lpn degree and lose 50 pounds!
My 2026 goals are to try and be more optimistic. I’m seeing so much hate around me and I feel that anger becoming a part of me. I need to learn to let it go and just take whatever is going on as it is and go from there. I’d also like to learn Japanese. There’s a lot of stuff that I love about Japan, especially Super Sentai, Godzilla and live action Sailor Moon. I’d like to know what they’re saying. I’d also like to lose weight and keep it off. I lost 40 lbs last year and it’s starting to creep back on. I’ve finally got used to eating vegetables so exercising will be my biggest struggle. I hate it but I need to do it. I want to be there for my family as long as I can. Learning to make a perfect looking omelette is another goal. It tastes like a n omelette but you wouldn’t know it by looking at it. Flipping is hard.
I’m getting married in 2026, so my biggest goal is to plan a wedding without completely freaking out/stressing out. Wish me luck!
Other than that I want to try posting on IG more and writing my reviews before moving onto the next book. I love to read but I’m a huge procrastinator when it comes to writing/posting reviews. I think because I’m too self critical.
My Goal for 2026, is to hopefully become Organized Again! I had to start babysitting my grandchildren at the end of 2024 so my daughter(s) could go back to work. I have Twin daughters in their 30s. One’s husband lost his job (temporarily – Union) so she had to go back to work as a nurse while we wait for the arbitration. The other wanted to go back to work after her son turned 2, but now she is due again in January. Needless to say, I have been too busy with their lives to organize and enjoy mine. Of course I LOVE being with my grandchildren, but I also need to have time for me and my husband. So that is my Goal. Wish me luck!
I want to decrease my debt, sugar and blood pressure numbers and increase the amount of books read per year and learn how to knit or crochet!!
My goal is to make it through this next year surviving my husbands cancer battle, he’s the one in pain, he’s the one going to treatments and battling the ass cancer. I am the caregiver slowly losing my mind, trying to stay positive, making sure he’s taking the meds he doesn’t want to take as he fears he will become addicted. I am the one who listens to this grown man scream and cry in pain each night, holding his hand, talking him off the edge being his cheerleader. So my goal is to make it through his treatments without losing sight of the importance of living everyday to the fullest.
I want to take next year and get all my ducks in a row so I can retire in Jan. 2027.
Cooking dinner more during the week!
Leave all the toxic behind me. Toxic friends? Bye. Toxic work? Bye. Toxic habits? Buhbye. My goal is to surround myself with people looking forward, happy and working towards building each other up. Tired of drowning in the negatives.
It’s a common one, but I’d like to work on weight management and increase my exercising in 2026. I’m healthy but not feeling it, so being more active and hopefully dropping a few pounds will help my perimenopausal self feel better.
Well, it sounds like I will be reading more since all these wonderful new books will be coming my way by one of my favourite authors.
Also, I plan on listening. Asking more questions and giving more focus to the friends and family I have. Listening to their stories. Making sure I have time for the people who matter in my life. Generally taking good care of myself and my family. Looking forward to another fun year.
My goals are to eat healthier & lose some weight and to put a dent in my TBR list!
Be happy in every aspect of my life.
My goals for 2026 are to become financially and medically stable again. Hubby has to have 2nd and 3rd operations this year on December 23rd, so hopefully that will be the end of this and on to good things in the new year.
I hope to travel abroad in 2026 or knock a couple of places off my bucket list stateside.
I’ll probably start with a goal to read 20-25 books this year. That’s been the goal for the last couple of years. I used to read 50-100 books a year, but I just haven’t had the time.
My goal is to tackle my TBR and land my dream job!!
To just keep on keeping on. Though I do need to start exercising so as I age I still have mobility. I’m about to turn 48 on Dec 30. These are the things I think about now.
My goals are to find a better job and continue to improve my diet.
Read books, go on vacation and enjoy life!
Finishing the house 🙏
Goals for this new year coming up…finish yard projects.
I am focusing my time & energy on the people that matter in my life. I have gone through a horrible workplace harassment incident & my employer was not supportive at all, even though I was proven right. I am going to focus on healing and getting to a better mental state with the love & support of my close friends and family.
My goal is to make memories every chance I get with loved ones. Life gets tough and wrenches get thrown into the mix all the time so I want to make the best of it at all times.
I just need to take it day by day and meet some small goals like getting my health in order and surviving
2026 Goal is to help my stepdad finish his treatments for throat cancer. He has a total of 6 weeks of treatments and at the beginning of the new year he should conclude those and then start treatment for his lungs. I give it to him he is a fighter so staying postive and helping my mom and him in anyway I can. Sucks watching someone you love go through this battle no one is untouched by cancer regardless of stage of life
I look forward to one year closer to not having to work anymore
My goal is to help my husband and learn to do home dialysis for kidney failure.
Get my health and mental health in a good place. It’s been a tough year for me.
My big goal is to renovate and move into this house.
My 2026 goals would be to first improve my health physically and mentally so I am able to be around longer for my kids and be a part of their lives as we make memories together.
My spinal injury has made me realize how important this is and that you need to listen to your body more.
I have also made a list of things I have always wanted to do or try but kept putting off. I want to start checking things off that list in 2026. Living not just for others and working on making their dreams come true but my own as well.
My biggest goal is to get healthier and lose weight, maybe finally get the chance to use my frozen eggs ❤️
I’d like to complete some home repairs.
I have three goals/plans for 2026:
1. Replace my leaky front door.
2. Refinish my blanket chest.
3. Have a better year than 2025.
That’s it.
Spending time with family traveling

My main goal is to sell my house and find a new home somewhere where my son and I can settle happily
My goal is to somehow get my broken bone in my leg to heal.
To get back into crafting & use the supplies I’ve bought this year

Just to make it through farming
Lose some weight, make some more time for myself…the usual 😅
I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 this past March and have lost 40 lbs. from taking my medication to balance out this desease, and eating right, and was just told a few weeks ago that I’m no longer diabetic, but pre-diabetic. So will continue in 2026 to use truvia and eat lowfat, use No Salt substitute and eat way less dairy because I was also diagnosed with stage 4 fatty liver and stage 3 kidney desease because liver over working them. I’m feeling so much better now and hope to enjoy 2026 doing more things because I feel better and seeing my friends that I haven’t seen in awhile because of poor health.
Travel more and stress less!
To be at peace
My goal is to be Happier.
I don’t set goals anymore🎅🎄 Just wish for my mom to be cancer free this year🎅🎄Thank you for the great giveaway🎁🎄🎅 Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you🎁🤶
In 2026, I look forward to a healthy lifestyle. I’ve had so many medical issues that I’m hoping my upcoming surgery will have a possitive affect on my life. I look forward to being able to socialize the way I used to. Having digestive problems hinders social activities because social activitiies always include food. I also look forward to listening to your upcoming books. One major thing I hope to be able to do is take my baking skill/gift to another level. I’ve been researching what baked goods are best to mail and how to package them. I am also thinking about creating a Youtube or Tiktok channel for baking. Most of all, I want my 2026 to be better than my 2025. Always looking for improvement.
As I previously said in the comment about 2025 goals, I chose a word for this year and built “goals” around it. Next year, I plan to do the same. I’m not sure what word I’ll go with, but I know I’ll know when the time comes to release the old and embrace the new. Maybe this year it’ll be a phrase or a quote. Every year that I live is a blessing, sometimes in a really thick disguise, but a blessing nonetheless. As I’m getting older, I’m realizing things I’ve never really cared about before or just brushed aside. Time does fly by. And pretty soon the final strands of my youth, my childhood, will pass me by. I’ve never actually taken the time to enjoy it until this year. And maybe that’s it. Maybe my word for next year should be “enjoy”. Enjoy the little things. Enjoy the snow. Enjoy the embarrassing moments with family. Enjoy the arguments that sprout over nothing. But enough with the heavy stuff. I plan on reading more and getting out of my reading slump, as well as getting back into writing.
Making time to practice more on my keyboard, exercise more and do more things I enjoy in general. Perhaps get rich so I have more time ha ha!
My plan is to read more of what I want and what I have and not sign up for so many random books 😅
Buying a home for my cats and myself. Hopefully a man as well.
I plan on getting caught up on all of your books! The teasers have such delicious spice!!
1) Take 10,000 steps a day
2) Set a bed time and adhere to it
3) Stop using my phone in bed
Make a big dent in my TBR pile
probably start out the year with my usual, reading goal, focusing on my health and decluttering the house. maybe find a hobby i can stick with.
I’m excited to do some road trips. There is so much I haven’t seen in my own state.
My goal is to look for property in Tennessee to build our forever home with my library in it!
Move from Wisconsin to Arizona
Honestly this week my mental health went into the toilet, so I am not thinking about my 2026 goals right now, but I wanna enter this giveaway
Continue saving to become a first time home buyer, continue my fitness/strength journey and to work a little less and enjoy life/the simple comforts more. Plus buy more plants…always room for more plants 😄
Hopefully holding onto the rest of my sanity lol
I don’t have any plans as of yet I am still pretty much in the planning stage – ha!
One of my goals is to catch up with every single book I have missed from all of my favorite authors.
I’m 53 yrs old and I’m *this* close to deadlifting past 205. Same with my squat. So I’m hoping in 2026 to get even stronger. I’m hoping to reach my goals on Social Media as well.

To start my business the right way, and love myself more.
To try to get more organized
Work on my health, mental and physical. Find a job that I actually enjoy.
This year I’d like to continue working on my self-love. It took me too long to know that I am “enough” and I still struggle with it sometimes. I probably need to start some kind of therapy, but I’ll have to work on a new budget for that lol!
2026 is going to be about my health and getting back to a better me physically.
Continue pushing with my power lifting. I want to at least increase my weights by 25% overall. I also want to trim down and lose some weight (I’m pretty chunky and love food)

This year, more like this winter, my plan ( with Husband) is to go thru every room in our house, every closet, every drawer and get rid of at least one thing from every room, hopefully more!! It’s going to be fun! Thanks for the chance! Merry decluttering!💄👞👔👓🧦🥄⏲️🪥🧾♻️
We are trying for a baby so hopefully be pregnant 😊 and will be looking for a bigger house
Even though I never complete my goals, I do have some I want to try to achieve for 2026. Exercise, eat a more healthy diet. Try to be more patient, less temperamental and moody. Fix up the house. Keep up with family and friends. And last but not least keep a book journal.
I would like to focus on self care. We recently had both kids move back in with us, and it’s been claustrophobic and stressful. I would love to find a quiet place and just read for a few hours…or days
I don’t set goals but if I had to it would be to get out more. I lost my job this year and I’m too old for anyone to hire me. I love being around people but since I lost my job I’ve become a hermit.
My goals are to spend as much time with my family and friends. Read more books for myself.
My goals are to be happier. Read more books for myself.

My goal is to send my eldest back to college, help my middle daughter get ready for the college process with lots of traveling to see schools. And supporting my theater music youngest son who at 12 was inducted into an international choir and is heading to England without us to perform and represent the US among other singing/acting engagements. They keep me busy and your audiobooks keep me sane so I’m looking forward to all of them (even the trucker book)!! Thank you!!
My youngest is heading to college in the fall. My goal is to start to invest in myself. It took a lot to get my kids where they are and I want to start making decisions for myself.

Very cliche but my health and mental happiness is my number 1 priority 2026. Lost the way in 2025 but I am ready to be me again

It be nicer to myself and about myself, that’s the big ones.
I only have one goal for 2026 and that’s to be kinder to myself. To live life and think about myself first.
I don’t know it’s my goal for 2026. But, I used to be very organized. I need to get that part of myself back. Sometime with health issues we just don’t have the energy to.
Boxes beware I’m coming for you soon,
I don’t really have 2026 goals just praying for a better/healthy year.
Celebrate life, fulfill one more dream and career change.
I want to stop multi tasking so much and start to focus more
Earn more money to pay off debt in 2026. This includes my credit and house, but the cards first, since the interest is ridiculous.

My goals are to focus on my 1 year old and develop a stronger relationship with my husband. It’s been a ROUGH year, marriage wise, for us since we had our daughter. We have agreed to take some time for US because we have NEVER been out together without our daughter. I’m either at work or home with her. I’m exhausted and we definitely need some time together. That being said, I also have a goal to bond more with my daughter and work on her brain development! She’s so smart and loves to “read” so I’ve made a goal for all of us to read 1 book a night with our daughter right before bed. We do it on occasion but I’d like to start doing it every night. I work 24 hour shifts for work, so when im at work, we FaceTime so we can read together during FaceTime.

I want to see my grandchildren more and visit my mother in Florida.
I have many but number one for me is to declutter this coming year! I seem to collect all kinds of stuff that we never use!

Hoping others will get use of some like new things and make new memories 🥰❤️📚
Plans include attending lots of local bookish events!

My goal for 2026 is to continue to live my family well and find contentment both personally ans professionally.
I just want to survive it, one of brothers just found out this week that he has cancer and is now scheduled for surgery in January to have his kidney removed and I’m just praying that it all goes well 😔
My 2026 goals are to not stress and worry about things out of my grasp, work on my fitness and be active with my family, and to work hard on my studies (getting a bachelor’s degree in accounting at 27 while being the primary care person for a family of 5 and 2 dogs is so difficult)
My goals for 2026 are:
1- lose 30lbs
2- do more camping trips and outings as a family
3- read 250 books (my goal was 200 this year and I’m at 280 but I don’t want to set the bar to high and not make it due to said outings I want to take!)
More travel less work. Maybe a new car
I’m hoping to travel to South America this time next year with our friends who live in Australia. My goal is to definitely make it happen! 🙏
Sort and declutter the whole house. Work on an exercise routine. Eat better.
Homeschooling my son, possibly going back to school for social work degree, and maybe returning to work…
I need to take better care of myself. My physical and emotional health have been suffering. And my husband isn’t doing much better. We need to have more fun and take control of our lives.
I don’t set a lot of goals usually, but we’re moving this coming year so my biggest goal is to declutter and start over in multiple ways. A fresh start is going to be so good for my little family.
Plans…I am shocked that it’s already December and I’ve gotten much less done toward this year’s goals than hoped. So this year I hope to eat healthier plus leave time to do more creative things. Thanks for the chance to enter!
This year’s goals are to finally sort out my library I have floor to ceiling shelves on two walls but my books are just dumped on as I read them i need to go through them all and arrange them by author / series 💜
Plans or goals? I don’t plan. I plan, god laughs. Isn’t that the saying? So I stopped planning. Goals, I have in spades. New roof on the house, some repairs, some painting. Balancing my finances. Purging a lot of “stuff”. A lot more balance, in all things.
To find a job that I think I would love. I also want to focus more on physical health. I just want to feel stronger!
I was writing my goals and it disappeared so I hope it didn’t become an actual answer.
I esp’ly wanted to read your super dark, super spicy novellas mentioned, not to say I wouldn’t be interested in, say, your romantasy 3rd bk as a first goal. Definitely attainable and a happy goal to boot! And I should throw in my weight loss goal that apparently goes from yr to yr now, as opposed to an achievable life event.
I can’t for the life of me recall my goals of 2025 written down approximately a week ago, as my brain has become a sieve, which is important bc I normally take those and switch them to the following yr. So I’ll wish for the easiest, most painless health issues for 2026; the ability to pay for the health issues as Republicans in Congress appear to have lost all conscience (just saying); and [knock on wood][salt over shoulder] a Democratic takeover of Congress (both Houses) such that the president’s actions are checked, woman can regain their rights over their own bodies, children (and veterans) receive the food they need for everyday life and POSSIBLY, the parts of Heathcare that have been taken away are restored and social security and Medicare/Medicaid remains on the table.
And peace in the Middle East while I’m at it. No, no. I mean, that would be great but all of the above is quite serious. Whenever I have any extra time, I will work towards the goal of getting the Democrats to win in 2026. It’s not just a wish. It’s truly a goal!!
Be kinder to myself and continue with therapy
Getting off the surgery waiting list hahah! Gotta strive for the big goal!
My goals for 2026 are reading at least 100 books, possibly saving money to buy a vacation for my family, and trying to sell some of the cars I have as I don’t need them.
Simple goals, but hopefully they will change a lot
Focus on me and my health
Sorry. Don’t do goals. They set a person up for guilt and disappointment.
I kind of dont have any plans. I know I want to read like at least 50 books; and I blew that goal out of the water this year. I also want to make a plan to go back to school but I am not really sure what for yet…..I think it will be something of stepping stones for me as I have to keep a job because of kids; so I will be researching a few avenues for that.
I will be enjoying the birth of my first Grand baby.
My goal is to spend as much time as possible with my grandson qnd try to cultivate serenity of some kind.
To be healthier
2026 will be the year of memories for my husband and I.
Neither of us have seen the extreme north east so we plan to visit Maine New Hampshire and Vermont. Maybe find some flea markets along the way. We have family along the east coast so we shall meyander our way through
Read more & make it through another year.
I just got out of an abusive relationship last month and I’m starting from scratch so next year my goals are:
1. Have at least $500 in savings and maybe start investing small
2. Get a credit card and start rebuilding my credit
3. Get the separation agreement done and start counting down the year until I can get divorced.
4. (Optional for now) Get new, better paying job.
Going back to school
My main goal is to be consistent with exercise so my chronic pain doesn’t flare up.
Lost 30 pounds in 2025 would like to loose 30 more in 2026
To work on myself and buy a new car
To travel more and spend the winter somewhere warm.
to continue to work on my health and to work on doing better budgeting financially
My main goal is to get my ex out of my house this year!!!
To get my health in order.
