I am keeping track of the books I read and my sunshine rating here for 2026. I hope to update it monthly or sooner when I share my reading update posts. It didn’t go so well last year, but 2026 could be my year for keeping up with this. You can always check in on Goodreads to see the most up to date books I’ve read. I am Sarah Parsons. I am reading on the beach in the sunshine, of course!
**I do not add a rating for kids books. I am happy to share my sunshine rating and thoughts if you would like to email me, but as an elementary school librarian in a county with many book challenges I do not feel comfortable publishing them here. It stinks, but that is the way it is right now.**

1-Yours for the Season by Emily Stone☀️☀️☀️☀️

2-Bear Bottom by Stuart Gibbs (kids audio)

3-The Phone Swap by Lia Louis ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

4-The Correspondent by Virginia Evans ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️+


I read The Phone Swap and thought it was really cute! Just added you as a friend on Goodreads too.
Great start to the year!
I loved The Correspondent too. I think it was on lots of favorites lists for 2025!
