🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our recommendation post for the next RAD box! Here are twenty-four books that we think also fit the August theme of Love Against the Odds. All of these books involve an unlikely pairing or unlikely circumstances where people still fall in love! 🧵

A post of book recommendations based on the Rainbow After Dark May 2026 theme. Twenty-four books in five rows: the first and fifth row have six book covers which stretch across the entire width of the graphic. Rows two, three, and four have four books with two on each side. In the middle of these is a graphic with a blue sky background. A Rainbow After Dark logo is at the top. Text below reads “Aug 2026 Love Against the Odds Recs” in all caps. All text is in white font, except for “Love Against the Odds” which is in orange neon text.

Fighting for and winning the right to free movement of all people is fundamental to any chance survival of our species and our world. Borders will increasingly mean extermination, genocide and treating people as expendable

“Here’s a radical thought: what if migration is only a problem to those who want it to be? What if we started seeing the mass movement of people less as an existential threat and more as a simple inevitability of human existence?”

My house has never been on fire. I subsidize the fire department for all the people whose houses have been on fire. I do not regret this in the slightest. I don't want to sit and do nothing while other people's homes burn. And if my house DOES catch fire, I'll be damn glad the fire dept exists.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
