Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Reminder: #TBRChallenge Day is September 20


Hey, hey, hey the (OMG!) ninth #TBRChallenge of 2023 is fast approaching! The magic day is Wednesday, September 20 and this month's (always) optional theme is New Author.

Another theme suggestion born out of the survey I ran late last year.  You can spin New Author a couple different ways, either a debut or an author in your TBR who is "new-to-you" - someone with a backlist but that you haven't gotten around to reading yet.  

That being said, remember that the themes are completely optional.  Maybe you're in the mood for a comfort read from a tried-and-true author this month?  The goal of the challenge has been, and always will be, to read something (anything!) that's been languishing in your mountain range of unread books. 

It's never too late to join the Challenge! To learn more about it and to see a list of folks participating head on over to the information page

AL: Right?! And what did I do? Chose a single title at the last possible moment. The good news is went on a reading frenzy last night, should finish the book this evening, and then hopefully draft the review tomorrow. Hope springs eternal!

Hope does spring!

I grabbed a 300 pages contemporary/romantic suspense from 2013, that I've had for just as long, and I'm hoping to get the reading finished tonight too.

AL: For me it's an ARC I swiped from work in 2017. Oh Wendy, way to stay on brand 😂

Dammit, I was doing so well this year!
