Wicked Words: A Treasury of Curses, Insults, Put-downs, and Other Formerly Unprintable Terms from Anglo-Saxon Times to the Present | Hugh Rawson

WELCOME TO THE 2026 WICKEDWORDS REVEAL!

Theme: Board Games

-How it works:
Before each month begins, I will post 5 words. You find & read a book from your TBR that has one of the words in the title or relates to it in some way. After you read it, pick another word from the list & repeat.

Its a great way to get those book off our TBRs & have support while we do.😁

The Joy of Reading: A Passionate Guide to 189 of the World's Best Authors and Their Works | Charles Van Van Doren

TheEllieMo So sorry to hear that you‘ve had so many tough things to deal with, but wonderful so see you wanting to bring joy back. My top read of the last couple of years, that I thoroughly recommend, is

There Are Rivers in the Sky: A novel

Bookwormjillk Sorry to hear life has been like that. What kind of books do you like? I'm glad you're back! 2w

Bookwormjillk PS 2026 Tournament of Books short list just came out if you're into that! https://www.tournamentofbooks.com/the-2026-shortlist 2w

dabbe So sorry to read about all that you've been dealing with, but glad to see that you're back! Lots of people like to share their favorites through these hashtags: #weeklyfavorites or #bookbracket/#bookbracket2025/#bookbracket25 ... I'm sure you can find tons at these two hashtag places. ♥️💙💚 2w

Lesliereadsalot Wishing you only good things going into the new year. Welcome back to Litsy! My favorites of this year: Wild Dark Shore and A Language of Limbs. From last year: All the Colors of the Dark. (edited) 2w

LaraReads @TheEllieMo oh wow! This looks so good! Can‘t wait to read it! Thank you for your kind words also. ♥️ (edited) 2w

TheLudicReader You‘ve had quite a time! Hope things are on the upward swing now. 2w

LaraReads @Bookwormjillk Thank you! ♥️ I would say I honestly like any genre as long as it‘s a good book. But I know that‘s pretty generic! So I would say: Contemporary Fiction, Literary Fiction, Romance, Fantasy, and Mystery are my most read. Thank you for the ToB link. Several of those look excellent! 2w

LaraReads @dabbe Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. ♥️♥️ Will definitely take a look at those hashtags. 2w

LaraReads @Lesliereadsalot Thank you very much! 🥹♥️ All 3 of those look really great. I have added them to my reads for next year! (edited) 2w

Jas16 So wonderful to see you back. I am so sorry that things have been so difficult. 2w

kspenmoll I am so so sorry for all the horrid curve balls that life has sen your way! Check my posts re: mysteries, I am a big fan. I will get back to you on others. 2w

Lcsmcat So sorry! But welcome back. 2w

CarolynM I‘m so sorry to hear all that. I hope that 2026 will treat you well. It is great to see you back here. 2023-24 were tough years for me. I read a lot of romance. Georgette Heyer was a big help. I‘ve read some great non-romance too. My favourite book this year is

The Axeman's Carnival

Susanita I‘m so sorry for all you‘ve been dealing with. If you want a book that will make you laugh try

Starter Villain

Chelsea.Poole You‘ve been hit so hard in such a short amount of time. Welcome back to Litsy and I hope 2026 is a year full of reading and joy for you! I‘d recommend this one, as one of my favorites this year, though it may be too much as it does focus on mental health and the author‘s struggles

Something in the Woods Loves You

(edited) 2w

BookmarkTavern That‘s a lot to deal with, and we‘re glad you‘re here to find some joy. This has been my favorite read of 2025.
