#TBRChallenge 2026 Theme Poll

As a Romancelandia institution, the TBR Challenge has been around since the mid-2000s and I picked up hosting duties in 2011 - which means, doing the math, that 2026 will be my 15th year hosting. Where has the time gone? Along with all my spoons? A mystery to be sure. But yes, I fully plan to host again next year because, if nothing else, it causes my sense of duty to kick in and forces me to finish reading a book ever month out of the labyrinth maze that is my TBR.

I hope all of you are considering joining me again because if wasn't for you all, I probably would have chucked hosting a few years back. I was facing burnout because life, and then someone (sorry, I can't recall who!) gave me the brilliant suggestion to ask Romancelandia for theme ideas - and here we are.  I've taken suggestions for Challenge themes for the last several years and it's honestly been one of the smarter moves I've made. Y'all seem to outdo yourselves every year and outside of the occasional tweaking to make a theme more "broad" - every single monthly theme has been an anonymous suggestion coming in from the poll (I don't retain email addresses). 

So if you're interested in participating in the 2026 TBR Challenge, and hey, even if you're not, please consider putting those thinking caps on and submitting some theme suggestions for next year.  I'll shoot to the keep the poll open through November, with sign-ups for next year's Challenge happening sometime early December.
