Hello 2026: Thoughtful Reads for Fresh Starts

The start of a new year often comes with a lot of noise. Big goals. Big plans. Big expectations.

But January doesn’t have to begin at full speed.

There’s something quietly hopeful about the first day of the year — a moment to pause, reset, and turn the page at your own pace. At Lowplex Books, we believe the best way to start the year is gently, with intention, and with books that support you rather than overwhelm you.

📚 Featured Books to Kick Off the Year

Here are some inspiring reads from our New Years Resolutions collection that we think are perfect for January and beyond.

🧠 **The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck — Mark Manson**

A refreshingly honest guide to focusing on what truly matters — and letting go of the rest. This book helps you rethink priorities and make space for the goals that feel meaningful to you.

🍳 Lean in 15 Collection — Joe Wicks (3-Book Set)
