Reminder: #TBRChallenge Day is January 21


I'm starting 2026 a lot like I spent most of 2025 - not reading. This isn't terribly great news considering OMG our first official #TBRChallenge of 2026 is set for January 21. This month's optional theme is Still Here.

This was a suggestion that came out of my annual theme poll and I thought it was perfect for January. Some ways you could potentially spin this theme? A book in a series you've been neglecting, a book by a favorite author you've been saving for a rainy day (yo, rainy days are here y'all) or maybe you want to go more towards a trope like unrequited love, second chance/reunion, or friends to lovers. Getting creative with the themes is encouraged.

However if the idea of sticking to a theme is more than you can deal with right now (and really, can't blame you), remember that these themes are always optional.  The goal of the TBR Challenge has always been read something, anything, that has been languishing in your pile of unread books.

It's never too late to sign up for the Challenge.  You can learn more about it, and see a list of who is participating, over at the #TBRChallenge 2026 information page.
