The Bookish Books Reading Challenge: Monthly Review Link-Ups for the Rest of 2026


I am the WORST challenge hosts, you guys! So sorry. I had planned to write monthly posts about what books I'm reading for the challenge, post a monthly link-up for reviews, and hop around to give some love to those that were posted. I'm failing miserably. Instead of stressing myself out trying to keep up with these monthly posts, I'm going to give myself a break and just let it go. Instead, I'll post the remaining monthly review link-ups here. I still want to visit all of your reviews, so I'll keep working on that. Thanks for being patient with your humble host!

How is the challenge going for you, by the way? I've read 18 bookish books so far this year. I've got quite a few still in my queue, so we'll so how many I get to in the second half of the year. Which bookish book has been your favorite so far? I think mine has been How to Kill a Crime Writer by Sarah Lotz (available July 21, 2026. It's about a woman who is paralyzed by grief after her mother (the titular mystery author) dies by falling from a ladder. Niamh doesn't believe her mom's death is an accident and she sets about proving it with some help from a very unexpected source. Although it's a poignant novel about grief, it's also funny, engaging, and life-affirming. 


How about you? What bookish books have you been reading? Which are you planning to read this month?

  2. Feels like years since I’ve linked up this way.

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.

P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!
