The Uncorked 2025 Reading Challenge Is Here!


Good Morning Reader,

I'm so excited to announce that the 2025 Uncorked Reading Challenge is posted. Thank you so much to everyone who took a few minutes to fill out our reading challenge survey. I loved your theme ideas and used as many as I could.

I also heard you - and feel you - about wanting a little more wiggle room along with "cozier"/chill themes. With all that has been going on this year - and what awaits us in 2025 - we are going to need our community more than ever.

2025 Uncorked Reading Bingo Cards

As in previous years, I highly recommend editing bingo cards in Canva - there is a free version - with this Canva Uncorked Reading Bingo template link. In Canva, just upload your book covers and drop them over the respective theme. Then, click "share" to download your updated card.

Some readers also print out bingo cards, edit them in other phone apps, or manipulate them using Instagram stories.

Good Morning Reader, We are back from Sonoma and about to get hit with the remnants of Florida's tropical storm, Helene. I thought we escaped having to move all of our patio furniture inside from Florida. I'm triggered. We are most concerned about our mountain trees and losing power. I'll try to share more of our Sonoma trip soon, but first: I cannot believe it is time for a new bingo card.

Good Morning Reader, For those in the U.S., I hope you are having a wonderful summer. It's been pretty sticky here in Asheville, and I've been working on protecting my garden from bugs and bears.

Wedding Novels Whether You Love 'Em Or Dread 'Em Good Morning Reader, Did you know that Tom and I had a summer wedding? Spoiler, I don't even like the summer (it's too hot, sorry!). However, at the time, I was working for a charter school (that ran like a cult); summers were all I had off for big vacations. We also uniquely got married in a barn - an expensive AF barn in CT - even though we swore we'd never drop that much money on one day. It was a gorgeous rustic barn, though, and I dreamed...
