Read Harder Challenge
We're halfway through BookRiot's
Read Harder Challenge
, and the events of June reminded us why reading diversely is so important. Whether they're fiction or nonfiction, short or long, books help us to understand the world around us and the people that fill it. Reading builds empathy and understanding, things we desperately need in these times of violence, terrorism, and xenophobia.
Few things are more beautiful than being reminded that we're all human, filled with hopes and fears and
dreams and pain and love. We invite all of you to join in on the challenge and to celebrate our shared humanity.

She faces challenges from her troubled but devoted father, her self-absorbed mother, a spectrum of circus employees, and emotional ties to memories and places that give solace in times of ambiguity and loneliness.
