In this video I look back at the books I've read so far in 2026, including: Les Misérables – Victor Hugo My Cousin Rachel – Daphne du Maurier Agnes Grey – Anne Brontë The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie – Muriel Spark I also talk about the books I'm currently reading: Moby-Dick – Herman Melville In Search of Lost Time – Marcel Proust I discuss what I enjoyed, what surprised me, and which book has been my favourite read of the year so far.
