Reminder: #TBRChallenge Day is April 15


I'm not sure how it's April and now the fourth month in our 2026 #TBRChallenge, but here we are. I'm still struggling to get eyeball reading done (audiobooks seem to be going OK for the moment ::knock on wood::) so if nothing else my self-imposed monthly deadline for this Challenge is at least making me get one book read every month. Success? Not quite, but I'll take it. Anyway, our next TBR Challenge is set for April 15, and this month's optional theme is Fool's Errand.

This came out of the yearly Theme Suggestion poll. Basically any book where one of the characters comes up with some harebrained idea or scheme, some sort of desperate Hail Mary idea to worm their way out of a situation. A lot of Fake Relationship / Engagement stories fall here. Also, if reading a Presents, what I call Presents Hero Logic - the elaborate plan for revenge that makes no sense to anyone other than our hero and inevitably it involves using the heroine to get back at her father. Absolute no clue what I'm going to yank out of my pile for this month, but I'm sure I'll have fun digging for something.

That said, if you don't feel like digging or twisting this theme into a pretzel, remember the themes are completely optional.  If you just want to pick a random book out of your pile and call it good? That's OK! The goal of the Challenge is to read something, anything, that has been languishing.

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.
