I have been trying to complete @SuperWendy's #TBRChallenge since 2012 (though not every year) with rather pitiful results. If you want to see how I did, I ended up writing a compilation post

It's #TBRChallenge Day and this month's theme is Fool's Errand. Y'all, I read a Thea Devine book. More seedy sex scenes than I could count, a magical thinking heroine and total soapy trash. In other words, I ain't mad https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2026/04/tbrchallenge-2026-sex-lies-secret-lives.html #RomBkBlog

Because I was feeling a certain way, I checked last year's attempt to complete @SuperWendy's #TBRChallenge. It turns out, while I certainly didn't do great, I did better than I thought I had. Crossing fingers for a better showing this year.

For reasons, I re-read this review just now, and I'm AGAIN so very angry that the author was not offered a contract for the next book. Well written protagonist of a certain age, interesting mystery, good worldbuilding.
Publishing did Callie Carpenter very dirty here.
