13 Moons Reading Challenge, Update #4

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ Leave a comment

Hello again, my lovely friends!

It has been quite a while since my last update on this reading challenge. The first… eight to nine months of this year were ass-kicking levels of depression. But I am slowly coming back and back o my books! So, tell me what you’re reading and if I should add it to my TBR?

Now, y’all know by now that I am nearly addicted to reading. I am an utter bibliophile and reading challenges, specifically this reading lunacy, is just up my alley.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the 13 Moons Reading Challenge for you, if you missed my first few posts about it:

2026 Reading Challenge #1: The 13 Moons Reading Challenge

Featured ~ Theodora Vanyar ~ Leave a comment

I want to read a LOT more in 2026. Why? Because I do.

Look, I get my escapism from the flaming dumpster that is the current reality in a few ways. The most prominent is absolutely the consumption of media, be it the written word, music, making or enjoying art, podcasts, and visual media (aka the television). I am chronically ill. Currently, I am carefully juggling three part-time jobs, schooling full-time as well, am writing both a queer, magical realism fiction novel and a nonfiction treatise regarding homelessness. Admittedly, I have an absolutely terrible sleep schedule and often need to meditate, breathe through waves of pain, and/or read for a few minutes to an hour waiting for medication to kick in well enough for me to sleep. Also, I just genuinely enjoy reading.

So what is the 13 Moons Reading Challenge? Read on, dear friends!
