SICWRAPPED
A year of books, bad decisions & excellent company.
MADE FOR THE EIGHT READERS OF SIC ♡
BEFORE WE BEGIN
CONGRATULATIONS.
You survived the reading list.
This presentation contains:
Unsolicited opinions · questionable reading habits · several identity crises and awards nobody asked for.
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU FEEL EXPOSED YOU ARE PROBABLY BEING EXPOSED.
THE 2026 TRACKLIST
SEVEN BOOKS.
ONE VERY CONFUSED SHELF.
Just for fun · Not a new book selection
THE RECEIPTS
THE YEAR IN
THREE NUMBERS.
BOOKS
GENRES
Somehow every genre became a discussion topic.
GENRE REPORT
GENRE HOPPERS.
One book club. Six literary personalities. And none of them can drive.
READER BEHAVIOR
YOUR GENRE
COMMITMENT ISSUES
STATUS:
COMPLICATED.
You flirted with six genres in seven selections.
We respect the lack of exclusivity.
THE PAGE COUNT
THE SHELF WAS BUSY.
PAGES ACROSS THE SEVEN SELECTED BOOKS
Based on representative editions.
Not a tally of pages actually completed by all eight readers.
BOOK SIZE REPORT
SHORT BOOKS.
LONG OPINIONS.
PAGES · NORTEÑA
The shortest selection still had us talking.
PAGES · FOUR TITLES
The Deal · The Only One Left
Dark Matter · The Night Circus
Edition-based reference counts; actual versions may differ.
LITERARY TIME MACHINE
YOU READ ACROSS
15 YEARS
Older stories. New anxieties. Same book club.
ACT II · THE BOOK AWARDS
THE SIC
BOOK
AWARDS
The jury is biased. The opinions are strong. The evidence is mostly emotional.
SOME BOOKS WON. SOME READERS ARE ABOUT TO BE EXPOSED.
AWARD WINNER
THE MOST
CONTROVERSIAL
Same book. Different interpretations. Absolutely no peaceful resolution.
THIS WASN’T A BOOK DISCUSSION. THIS WAS A CIVIL WAR.
AWARD WINNER
THE BIGGEST
DISAPPOINTMENT
Our expectations arrived wearing a gown.
The payoff showed up in pajamas.
THE UNOFFICIAL HONORS
THE SIC HALL
OF INFAMY.
WINNERS TO BE REVEALED LIVE. OBJECTIONS WILL BE IGNORED.
THE UNOFFICIAL HONORS
YOU ARE NOT
BEATING THE ALLEGATIONS.
PLOT EDITS WERE REJECTED. THE MISSING PAGES REMAIN MISSING.
THE UNOFFICIAL HONORS
ONE LAST ROUND
OF FRIENDLY FIRE.
ALL AWARDS ARE SUBJECT TO PETTINESS, NOT APPEAL.
ACT III · OUR LITERARY DNA
ONE CLUB. SEVEN BOOKS.
AN ALARMINGLY CONSISTENT TASTE IN DISASTER.
Evidence: a hockey player, broken realities, domestic nightmares and an actual circus.
READING AGE
YOUR LITERARY AGE:
YEARS OLD
You read like retired detectives who don't trust anybody.
A VIBES-BASED METRIC. NO BIRTH CERTIFICATES WERE CONSULTED.
READING AGE COMPANION METRIC
YOUR TRUST ISSUES
EVERYBODY IS A SUSPECT.
Including the narrator. Especially the narrator.
Satirical rating. Please do not report this to your psychiatrist.
READER AURA
YOUR 2026
READER AURA
TAP AN AURA TO FEEL EXPOSED
Norteña tried to bring us back to reality. We voted it Biggest Disappointment.
THE OFFICIAL COLLECTIVE PERSONALITY
YOUR 2026 LITERARY PERSONALITY
THE FICTIONAL
CRISIS COMMITTEE
You did not choose a favorite genre. You opened seven investigations.
CASE 01 / ROMANCE
THE DEAL · NIGHT CIRCUS
Hockey players and romantic magic. Apparently chemistry is a sufficient background check.
CASE 02 / REALITY
THE MERGE · DARK MATTER
An identity crisis was not enough, so you requested extra universes and borrowed selves.
CASE 03 / SUSPICION
YESTERYEAR · THE ONLY ONE LEFT
Domestic perfection and a mysterious house. Congratulations: nobody is getting the benefit of the doubt.
HONORABLE MENTION: NORTEÑA
We tried nonfiction. The committee filed a disappointment report.
THE GENRE CHANGED. THE CROSS-EXAMINATION DIDN’T.
YEAR IN MEMORIES
THE BOOKS WERE
ONLY HALF THE STORY.
The memories were the bonus content.
THE FINAL CHAPTER
SAME SHELF.
MORE STORIES.
We came for the books.
We stayed for the people.
