I did an okay job with my September 2026 TBR and managed to read 50% of it. My structured reading took a nosedive halfway through the month and I did a lot of mood reading instead. For my October 2026 TBR I plan to go back to my ARC list and read from there. I more or less took a break from ARCs for the last 1-2 months. Now it’s time for me to make a dent in my ARC pile.

I did an ok job reading from my August 2026 TBR and finished three books and am reading a fourth from that selection. Some of those books are also in my September 2026 TBR. I’m keeping my priority reads list a little shorter this month. My hopeful reads are a selection of nonfiction and mostly nature related since I’m (currently) in the mood for calm reads.

Wow, I cannot believe it’s already time for an August 2026 TBR list!!! I feel like 2026 is just getting started! I’m proud of myself for finishing (or DNF) 4 out of my 5 priority reads on my July 2026 TBR list, and also for starting the fifth. That makes things a little more clear cut for my August 2026 TBR.

My July 2026 TBR primarily consists of ARCs simply because I’ll be on the move a lot this month. (Also, I’m really behind on ARCs.) Luckily, I have some good ones to read and I’m excited about all of these. But first, I need to finish EMPIRE OF STORMS, which is a must. Then I’ll have two books left in the series, which I think is manageable before the next ACOTAR books come out.
Anyway, to those of us who’ll be enduring the heat dome for the next 5 days or so, stay safe, good luck, hunker down. I hear reading is a good, cool thing to do.

After a slow start to my May 2026 TBR, I actually ended up okay. I didn’t read as many days last month, so that impacted some progress on my ARCs. But I read two of my priority reads and one of my hopeful reads and read 30% of my third priority read. For my June 2026 TBR I have a list of hopeful reads for Pride Month. This is a first for me.
I never read to a particular monthly theme. It makes me want to have a mental temper tantrum because I don’t like being held to a list. The only reason I started doing these monthly TBR posts is to keep ARCs in the forefront of my mind. In that regard, I think my TBR posts work. However, I have a massive backlog of physical books I want to get through, including LGBTQ+ books. So, I decided to use Pride Month as encouragement to tackle some backlist LGBTQ+ reads.
