Duration: September 1 - September 30, 2025


September is for chasing whimsy, wonder, and a little bit of nonsense. In this challenge, you’ll tumble into strange lands with curious characters and stories that defy the ordinary. Whether you’re sipping tea with mad friends or questioning what’s real, there’s a prompt here to spark your imagination.

"We're all mad here," so let your TBR reflect that!
