2026 Book List Gathering: Ideas, Insights & Inspirations

Hey dear Istanbul Books & Literature Group! ❤️
I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your current reads.
This year, I want to go beyond just literature and focus more on meaningful, thought-provoking, and impactful works that enrich our minds and spark deep conversations. With that in mind, I am organizing a special meeting to collectively prepare a Protected content Reading List for each other.
During the meeting, we’ll share our personal book suggestions, exchange recommendations, discuss why certain books moved us, and build a rich, diverse reading list together. Whether it’s timeless classics, contemporary gems, philosophical works, memoirs, or books from different cultures and perspectives .
During the meeting:

*Come prepared with at least 2–3 book suggestions
*Think about books that left a strong impression on you, challenged your thinking, or changed your perspective
*Be open to discovering new authors and genres through each other’s recommendations
