Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books First Quarter 2026

Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books First Quarter 2026


It has been an excellent year for reading so far, not my best to date, but my second best. I averaged over a book and a half a day. Faster than the last few years, but I had the first few weeks off work, and so many books and series I am working through. 

In April of 2023 I wrote a piece called How I Read So Much? Because I get asked the question so often, read the piece linked above if you are looking for some ideas on ways to read more. 

This quarter I read 151 books and I did not any to the ‘did not finish’ list, one of my highest quarters since I started keeping track, below is the comparison with the last 9 years:

     2026 - 151
     2025 - 132
     2024 - 119
     2023 – 160
     2022 – 145
     2021 – 97
     2020 – 96
     2019 – 123
     2018 – 91
     2017 – 100
     2016 – 52

One of the things that always causes a spike in the first quarter is I endeavour to pray a Stations of the Cross Friday of the year and each day through Lent. And this is the first Lent I have hit each day, at least so far. At the beginning of Lent this year I had 10 Stations I had never read. I have read 20 new ones and still have 4 I have year read, which I hope to do during Holy Week. But back to this year by the numbers:

Books Read: 151
First Time Reads: 122
Fiction: 37
Non-Fiction: 114
5/5 Stars: 111
5 Stars Fiction: 27
5 Stars Non-Fiction: 84

The first quarter of this year was great. I can state again that looking back 2016 is a bit of an outlier as late that year I switched jobs and have since had much better work – life balance. In the spring of 2016, I worked through Brandon Vogt’s course Read More Books Now (now available on ClaitasU). The year before that I removed all games from my phone and tablet and my reading had doubled. This year I received a physical Kindle for Christmas; instead of reading on my phone; and my reading has gone up again.

You Have Redeemed the World: Praying the Stations in the Holy Cross Tradition - Andrew Gawrych C.S.C. and Kevin Grove C.S.C.

You Have Redeemed the World: 
Praying the Stations in the Holy Cross Tradition 
Andrew Gawrych C.S.C.
Kevin Grove C.S.C. 
ISBN 9781594712623
ISBN 159471262X

You Have Redeemed the World: Praying the Stations in the Holy Cross Tradition - Andrew Gawrych C.S.C. and Kevin Grove C.S.C.

I picked this and another stations up after an email from Ave Maria Press during Lent in 2026. Over the years I have developed the habit of trying to pray a Stations of the Cross each Friday throughout the year and each day through let. I am not certain if I have ever completed it for a whole year. But I try. Recently I went through the collection of Stations I had and found I had about 10 I have never read or reviewed and have made the commitment to try and make it through them this Lent, and I added 2 more after that email arrived.

The description of this volume is:

“Voices from around the world invite us to travel the Way of the Cross in every time and place. Steeped in the spirituality and mission of the religious communities of Holy Cross, these Stations help us contemplate the saving power of Christ's death and resurrection in unexpected places. Available in both English and Spanish. 

Blessed Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, wrote Human life is like a great way of the cross. This way of the cross is everywhere and we travel it every day, even in spite of ourselves and without being aware of it. This booklet is written from the depths of that understanding. The fourteen traditional Stations of the Cross are presented through depictions of contemporary human lives as witnessed by members of Holy Cross religious communities in ministry around the world. Contributors include James Phalen, Joan Marie Steadman, Arthur J. Colgan, Peter Jarret, and Mary Kay Kinberger.”

About the authors we are informed:

“Rev. Andrew Gawrych, C.S.C., & graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2007 and was ordained a Holy Cross priest in 2008.”

and

“Rev. Kevin Grove, C.S.C., graduated with a Master of Divinity degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2009 and was ordained a Holy Cross priest in 2010.”

In the introduction we are informed:

“By his Holy Cross, Jesus Christ has redeemed the world. The steps he took on the way to Calvary were not only for you or for me, but also for all humanity. The more profoundly we are able to walk these steps with our Lord, the more his passion, death, and resurrection bear fruit in our lives.”

And also:

“Drawing upon this conviction that we each walk the Way of the Cross in our own lives, the following fourteen stations unite the steps of ordinary people with the steps of Jesus. As we enter into their steps, we are drawn ever more fully into Christ's.”

The chapters in the volume are:

Introduction
Opening Prayer
Jesus is Condemned to Die
Jesus Takes Up His Cross
Jesus Falls the First Time
Jesus Meets His Sorrowful Mother
Simon Helps Jesus Carry the Cross
Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
Jesus Falls the Second Time
Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem
Jesus Falls the Third Time
Jesus Is Stripped of His Garments
Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
Jesus Dies on the Cross
Jesus Is Taken Down from the Cross
Jesus Is laid in the Tomb
Closing Prayer 

There is no Stabat Mater, and no prayers at the end of each station, but they can easily by added personally. 

A sample station is:

“The THIRD STATION
Jesus Falls the First Time

Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world!

Leader: A farmer plants grain in an act of sheer faith. As each tiny kernel falls from coarse hands to the soil, the farmer knows that grain is being lost to decay in the dark earth, but that this death is necessary for a crop that yields thirty, sixty, or one  hundredfold. A single grain falls to the ground and does not remain a single grain, but provides bread in abundance.

All: Jesus, you fell out of exhaustion, pain, and the sheer difficulty of your Way of the Cross. But your every step, your every fall, was not in vain. You offered your steps, your falls, and ultimately your whole life as a single grain of wheat that your father might reap an abundant harvest in our lives.

Lord Jesus, help us to see you in our every step and stumble as we strive to be faithful to you. Through your grace, may our failings yield a bountiful harvest in our lives, our Church, and our world.

Leader: Hail the Cross,
All: Our only hope.”

I hope that sample meditation and the quotes from the introduction gives you a feel for this volume. One of the features of this stations is that each station has an image of a different cross or crucifix. Each station has a very personal reflection. It is a very moving version of this devotion. The contributors are:

First Station: Rev. Gary Chamberland, C.S.C., Director of Campus Ministry, University of Portland 

Second Station: Rev. James Phalan, C.S.C., Director of Family Rosary International 

Third Station: Rev. Andrew Gawrych, C.S.C., and Rev. Kevin Grove, C.S.C., Associate Pastors in Arizona and Indiana 

Fourth Station: Sr. Joan Marie Steadman, C.S.C., Scholar of Healthcare Ethics 

Fifth Station: Rev. James Gallagher, C.S.C., Director of Holy Cross Office of Vocations 

Sixth Station: Br. Kenneth Haders, C.S.C., President of Archbishop Hoban High School 

Seventh Station: Rev. Aaron Michka, C.S.C., Director of Seminarian Formation, Monterrey, Mexico 

Eighth Station: Rev. Donald Fetters, C.S.C., Director of Novices, Peru 

Ninth Station: Br. John Britto, C.S.C., Superior of Holy Cross Brothers in India 

Tenth Station: Rev. Arthur J. Colgan, C.S.C., Provincial Superior of the Eastern Province of Priests and Brothers of Holy Cross 

Eleventh Station: Br. Paul Bednarczyk, C.S.C., Director, National Religious Vocations Conference 

Twelfth Station: Rev. Peter Jarret, C.S.C., Superior of the Holy Cross Community at the University of Notre Dame 

Thirteenth Station: Sr. Mary Kay Kinberger, M.S.C., Superior General for the Marianites of Holy Cross 

Fourteenth Station: Rev. James Burasa, C.S.C., District Superior of the Holy Cross in East Africa

This was a Way of the Cross I am very thankful I have worked through and look forward to praying it again. If it was available as an eBook it would be one I used often. I have prayed a few versions of Biblical Stations over the years. But this one is an excellent resource.

This is a great Lenten resource, a wonderful version of this devotion. I can easily recommend that Way of the Cross. I encourage you to pick it up and give it a try, if you can track it down!

Ted Talk
A DragonEye, PI Story

Laser Cow Press

Ted Talk - Karina Fabian - A DragonEye, PI, Short Story

I believe this is the fifth short story published as a standalone in this series. There are currently 10 novels with an 11th announced. A few of the works have been through major revisions and have a second edition available, including the forthcoming Live and Let Fly. But every time something new drops from Fabian’s pen I pick it up and it jumps to the top of my reading pile. The description of this story is:

“Gurlurk Prince of Trolls. Gurlurk not want be Prince of Trolls. Gurlurk want be mage. Ted tell Gurlurk, “What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.” Gurlurk believe! So Gurlurk go University, ask become mage.

But when everyone, from the school administrators to the fraternity boys, reminds Gurlurk that trolls can’t do magic… Welllll…

It’s going to take a dragon to fix this mess, and Vern’s the drake to do it.

If you’ve read If Wishes Were Dragons and ever wondered about the history between Vern and Gurlurk, get this story and learn all the hilarious details. (If you haven’t read If Wishes Were Dragons, get this story, then go read the book for the ironic yet inevitable conclusion.”

Every time I read a book by Fabian, no matter the series, I think ‘it can’t get better than this’ and yet somehow it almost always does. This story really amps up the humour. It is slapstick at its beast, but also cleanest. 

I read the volume in one sitting whole waiting to pick up kids from youth group. It is a short story that packs a lot of punch. A human from our world wanders through to fairy while at a convention or training with a motivational speaker. Ted wants to become the next Stephen Covey, Robin Sharma, John Maxwell, or Dan Millman. 

He runs into Gurlurk who appears to be down. Ted decides to use what he has learned to test his new skills he has been learning. Gurlurk becomes convinced and heads off to train as a mage. The school administrators dismiss him, the frat boys love his belching and drinking but laugh at him as well. Gurlurk may not be smart, he may not have magic but he is string and determined and has more than a little mean streak. Enter Vern, and pre Saint George Vern for those familiar with the stories. 

I believe that with each new book I read from Karina Fabian’s masterful pen I am more and more impressed with her writing. To date, I have loved all the books and all the series I have read by her. I have read stories by her over 60 times. This new story is another excellent offering. And after reading this I cannot but hope we get another story with Gurluck after these events and this in If Wishes Were Dragons. 
  
This book is another entertaining read, in an excellent series. It is a great offering from Fabian’s pen. Even if you have not read any of the other DragonEye PI stories I can easily recommend this story to you, but if you have read any of them it gives a little glimpse to Vern in the past. I have said it before, and I say it again in many ways it reads like a catholic version of Robert Apsrin’s MYTH series and his Phule’s Company and also the works of Tom Holt, especially Holt’s Nothing but Blue Skies. Give this book or the series a try; I am certain you will be entertained. Another fantastic read in a great series that I can easily recommend.

The Way of the Cross for the Holy Souls in Purgatory - Susan Tassone

The Way of the Cross for the Holy Souls in Purgatory - Susan Tassone

Every Friday during the year I try and pray a Stations of the Cross, and also each day through Lent. I am not sure I have every actually hit the whole year but I try. AT the beginning of lent in 2026 I went through my collection of Stations and found I had 10, I had not got around to praying yet. I have read 5 so far and now have 13 I have not read … I have a found a few others while researching reviews including this volume. I have only once previously read a volume by Susan Tassone, and it was excellent, I have several on my ‘to be read’ pile, but this one only grabbed my attention this year.  

The description of this volume states:

“Recall, reflect, remember, and pray.

Recall loved ones who have died and, in a spirit of true charity, keep in mind other departed souls who may have no one on earth to pray for them.

Reflect on the reality of purgatory and those who, though so close to heaven, must still prepare to enter it. These souls, the Church teaches, can benefit from your prayers for them and whose prayers, in return, can benefit you.

Remember, Station by Station, the Passion and death that Christ endured for those souls, for all souls, for your soul.

Pray that the same Christ, the One who conquered death, may soon welcome into the Eternal Banquet the souls of your loved ones, and the souls of all the faithful departed.

With its one-of-a-kind combination of the traditional prayers of the Stations of the Cross and scriptural reflections focusing on Christ's passion and death, The Way of the Cross for the Holy Souls in Purgatory was an immediate best-seller when first published in 2000. The revised edition is expanded and features beautiful, four-color mosaics from Marytown, home of the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe.”

The chapters in the volume are:

Origin of the Way of the Cross
The House of Ephesus
The Importance of the Way of the Cross
An Act of Contrition
The Stations of the Cross
Closing Prayer
Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
Scripture Reflections
Seven Penitential Psalms
Reflections of the Saintly Ones
Gaining Indulgences With the Stations of the Cross

This volume has both:

Nihil Obstat: Rev. Michael Heintz
Censor Librorum

Imprimatur: 
John M. D’Arcy
Bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend
November 18, 2004

A sample day is:

“The Third Station
Jesus Falls the First Time

V. We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
R. Because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world.

O Jesus, through your weakness under the cross and the merits of this first fall, grant me perseverance in keeping my good resolutions, that I may always walk faithfully in your holy ways. The souls in purgatory now suffer because they neglected and abused your graces in this life. They now realize that no sin-stained soul can see God. Therefore, have mercy on them, and cleanse them from all sin.
Through the intercession of your sorrowful Mother, deliver them from purgatory.
My Jesus, mercy!

Our Father . . . Hail Mary . . .

V. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
R. And let perpetual light shine upon them.
Merciful Jesus, grant them eternal rest. Amen.”

I hope that sample station give you a feel for this version of this devotion. I was really blessed to pray this stations and know it will be one I use often. My only complaint is that the eBook edition is not available in Canada.

About the author we are informed:

“Susan Tassone has written several best-selling books for Our Sunday Visitor incuding: Rosary for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, Thirty-Day Devotions for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, Praying with the Saints for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and Prayers, Promises and Devotions for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Way of the Cross for the Holy Souls in Purgatory has sold more than 80,000 copies.
Susan has long been a passionate champion for the holy souls in purgatory and is recognized as leading the “purgatory movement” in the United States.”

This was a great volume to work through. It is a great version of this devotional practice. I can easily recommend it for personal or corporate devotion.
