Every year, I swear I will keep my reading challenges to a minimum. But once again, I am probably signing up for too many challenges in 2023. The thing is, these are all challenges I want to do, because they help with my reading goals. It’s just that keeping track… Read more »
Is your TBR pile taller than you are? Are there hundreds of books on your Goodreads to-read shelf? Then The Backlist Reader Challenge is for you! If you’re like me, you’ve got a TBR list a mile long, and a lot of the books on it have been on there… Read more »

June was a slower-than-usual reading month for me, and I am not sure why. I read or listened to only nine books during the entire month, and one of those was a novelette (longer than a short story, but not as long as a novella.) I started several other books… Read more »
Louise at Foxes and Fairy Tales is hosting a Star Trek-themed readathon! No, you don’t have to read Star Trek books for the #TrekAThon (though you can.) Basically, there is a prompt associated with each character, and the idea is to “beam up the entire crew” by reading books for… Read more »
