This year’s it girl? Books. Despite growing concerns about declining literacy rates, we believe we’re entering a Golden Era of Books, and we’re celebrating with our annual She Reads Best of the Year Awards!

From the screen to the streets, from fashion trends to celebrity circles, books are having a major cultural moment. Reading isn’t dead. In fact, we think it’s just getting started.

Now it’s your turn to celebrate the stories that defined your year! Now through November 29, vote for your favorite books of 2026 across 16 categories, and stay tuned as we crown this year’s winners during the first week of December.
