I don’t think I could have loved We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry any more than I did I finally got around to reading With the Fire on High and Before I Fall and Dumplin’, even though they weren’t on my TBR (just my mind-TBR) I’m chugging along on my own personal Read Harder project and I got super lucky and snagged a copy of I’m Glad My Mom Died from the library, despite there being a line approximately 348237498328932 people long. That’s why I enjoy the shake-up of a reading challenge it gets me out of my familiar ruts and into new territory, challenging my brain a little and taking me to new places. So much fiction! I’m usually so much more of a nonfiction reader, so this has been a fun switch-up. Check Please by Ngozi Ukazu (review to come) Book Lovers by Emily Henry (review to come)ġ6.

And I hope you’re feeling this enthusiastic about whatever reading plans you have as well. Not that I’m never unexcited, it’s just…things feel fresh this year in terms of books, and I love that. I’m already a little sad for when I finish this!īut really, it’s great to be this excited about reading again. I love being able to mark off categories on the sheet, and I’m always excited to move on to my next great read. I discover new authors, rediscover old favorites, and get totally jazzed about reading all over again. When I have the time and mental space for them, reading challenges always spark new reading creativity in me. (Other things, ehhhhhh, but reading? Excellent.) I’m pretty thrilled with my decision to participate in the 2023 PopSugar Reading Challenge. 2023 is 1/12 of the way over already, and it’s already been a pretty great year for reading.
