hi friends! with so much fun news for the (official) summer readalong, pride 2026, and another limited quest, wanted to get a feel on interest on another for the summer :)

love that J+L are focusing on intersectionality for Pride with celebrating Juneteenth and hoping to continue that energy for a few proposed options in the comments. please vote for your preference below! whatever has the most upvotes by end of May will be the selected book!

please feel free to share if you have other suggestions or comments about the options! no pressure or requirement to participate, just another opportunity to read more nonfiction 💖 happy reading!

though i have siblings, there is too much of an age gap + distance + personality difference for us to be super close, and so i find stories that are centered on sibling dynamics so interesting. especially when it seems their character arcs are intertwined

"It was a wonder that mortals accomplished anything at all when they had to sleep, eat, clothe themselves, and do another thousand small tasks besides. At least eating was a pleasure, even if it had to be done for sustenance."

It really is hard out here being human 😭 No one ever mentioned how much time sleeping, eating, and clothing yourself actually takes up! I can barely manage it most days myself (though eating really does help)
