Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.

This week’s prompt:

On a sliding scale of they’re the elixir of life to no one tells ME what to do, how do you feel about self-help books? Do you read them? Only certain kinds or at certain times? As background noise while you clean ALL the things.

Let us know!

Self-help books: Yea or nay?

Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.

This week’s prompt:

Do you participate in any reading challenges throughout the year? If so, let us know (and feel free to share a link to the challenge).

Or maybe you have one of your own devising. Maybe it’s simply a goal to make a dent in your TBR pile.

Whatever the case, happy reading!

Are you participating in one (or several) reading challenges in 2026?

This week’s prompt:

So, there’s a saying that how you spend New Year’s Day is how you’ll spend the year.

I think all of us here would like to spend at least some of the year reading. That being the case, the very first prompt of the year is:

What book are you reading (or hope to read) on this first day of 2026?

I know some people are working today, some are still cleaning up after the holidays, but I hope everyone can find five minutes for a bit of reading.

Happy New Year!
