This year’s program focuses on family and everything that can mean. Each book recommended this year features some kind of familial relationship – from found family to single moms to siblings to polyamory to adopted children and everything in between. We hope that by reading these, you’ll interrogate your own ideas of what “family” means. 

You can purchase books directly from us or you can buy from our Bookshop.org affiliate page, but the sale must benefit Tubby & Coo’s in order for it to count towards the challenge. If the recommendation is part of a series and you own the recommended book already, we will count it if you purchase the newest book in the series. You’ll need to submit your receipts for the purchase of your books at the form below. Note that you’ll need to be signed into Google in order to submit the form. This is so we can track your reads for the discount!

Join the discussion on our social media channels (@tubbyandcoos on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, & Twitter) by tagging us and/or using the hashtags #shelfimprovement and #tubbyandcoos.
