Hey, so you've probably noticed that this blog has been a dead zone of late - and I have no excuses other than 1) I haven't been reading and 2) Work is kicking my butt into next Tuesday. That's right ladies and gents - it's End Of Fiscal Year Time, which is a big hairy deal for the type of librarian I am. I've now been through this process 12 times with my current employer - which would imply it's gotten easier. Narrator: It has, in fact, not gotten easier. Every year there's some new fresh hell of unexpected shenanigans to throw a wrench in my plans for a low-stress, totally ordered Year End. Hence, my reading being in the toilet. At the end of the day I only seem to have bandwidth for Law & Order reruns and crushing candies. However...
This was another suggestion that came out of my annual theme poll and June is Pride month. The obvious choice here would be an LGBTQ+ romance. Or you could spine this into pride as an emotion - as in a prideful main character. Basically every Harlequin Presents hero ever written 🤣
That said, I can totally relate to the fragile state of reading mojo - and sometimes you just have to go with the book calling your name in the hopes of finding something to lose yourself in for a few hours. 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.
