I don't think there's anything in fiction, or anything notable, set in 2026. It's not one of those iconic years. But it has to come along eventually, as all years will do in time. Even if nothing notable happens in 2026 in fiction, it's happening to us now. And I'm aiming to make the best of it.
I've started my reading challenge already, going to be 141 books this year which is the size of my to be read pile by my best current estimate. I'm reading Spear by Nicola Griffith and it's great. I made delicious pizza. I worked on editing my Arthurian novel, inspired by reading Spear. I wrote a little on a short story proposed by my colleagues in the Vicious Lion Writers Club, which in this case is going to be about starvation at the end of the world. I went out with Adam to get coffee at Seven Virtues, which is new to us; we liked it, even if the rain made it less than ideal to walk there. There was also laundry, and playing a sort of fun calendar game which in my case is the Dungeon one; I bought it at Powell's in the last week I worked there when I bought so many things (see: the tbr pile of 141 books.)
Anyway, Happy New Year.
