Now that it’s June, is anyone going to join their library’s summer reading challenge?? I’ve decided to join mine because they’re giving out some cool hats this year. I’m not sure how widespread this is but I think most libraries in america have a summer reading challenge for all their patrons to get people to read. There are prizes and activities the library will promote throughout the summer. Of course, as a kid I was all about this because they had cool prizes and raffles at the end of the summer. Some of my favorite summer memories and going to the library and picking out books to read. Some of my favorite prizes were a free scoop of ice cream and a free round of mini golf at the local course! What is everyone else’s favorite memories from this time?

Hello friends!

If you have been participating - how has your last week of 75 Booked been?

I am pretty pleased - I’ve met my reading goals every day but one. I’m more drinking more water throughout the day, and I’ve completed 6 books in the last two weeks. (Noting that some of those had been started prior to the challenge.)

How are you travelling?

Hello everyone!

I really want to dive into Octavia Butler but I have a major hang up: I know her most famous work is Parable of the Sower. I have severe anxiety & OCD which are triggered nowadays sometimes by mere mentions of climate change. I cannot read Parable of the Sower for that reason. Maybe one day! Not now.

Does anyone have a rec for where to start in her bibliography which would be possible for me atm? It would also be helpful to know if there are others I should avoid because I’m wary of her works due to the synopsis of this one.

Thanks in advance 🥰
