Sometimes the year’s buzziest book takes a while to show up, but the buzziest 2026 book made waves from the jump, landing a well-deserved Oprah Book Club pick. Collecting praise from critics and the general reader alike, Kin by Tayari Jones is one of few books I expect to see on every Best Books of 2026, So Far, list that releases.
Jones isn’t a newcomer to success. She’s been writing great books since she was a grad student, and her 2018 novel, An American Marriage, was also an Oprah Book Club selection. Jones’s newest is a novel of love, friendship, and family that goes soul-deep, and you really won’t want to miss out.
