Bookish Roundup: January 2026

Project Hail Mary


Didn't expect Project Hail Mary to git his hard.

I thought it would just be a smart sci-fi read.

But somewhere between the isolation and the impossible stakes...

It stopped feeling like a space story and became about connection and redemption.

I highly, highly recommend Project Hail Mary.

This ended up being my favorite sci-fi book. ❤️

Amaze, amaze, amaze! 🥰

Right Thing, Right Here


In Right Thing, Right Now, author Ryan Holiday explains an idea that feels forgotten today: real happiness comes from doing what is right.

Many people are told happiness comes from balance and comfort.

Rest more. Avoid stress. Make life easier.

But that idea is pretty new.

For most of history, people believed happiness came from being honest, keeping promises, and living by clear values.

When actions don’t match values, something feels wrong inside.

That feeling doesn’t always show up as guilt. Often, it feels like being restless. Or unhappy for no clear reason.

It usually starts small.

Avoiding a hard conversation. Letting something slide. Choosing what’s easy instead of what’s right.

Over time, those small choices add up.

From this view, unhappiness isn’t always because life is hard. Sometimes it’s because values and actions are no longer aligned.

If you’ve been feeling that quiet disconnect, this book is worth reading.

Never Lie


Some thrillers surprise you.

Others make you rethink everything you just read.

Never Lie doesn’t just end with a twist...

It rewrites the meaning of every clue, every lie, every moment before it.

When you reach the truth, you realize the story was never what you thought it was.

And that’s the most unsettling part.

👉 Recommended if you love psychological thrillers where the ending changes everything.
