🌈 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.

🌈 Introducing our exclusive special edition of The Sun & the Star: a Nico Di Angelo Adventure by Rick Riordan & Mark Oshiro! This is a story of learning to live with trauma and finding light even in the darkest of places! 🧵

A white brick wall graphic with text at the top that reads “Rainbow Crate Exclusive” and “The Sun and the Star”. Underneath it is a 3D book with the cover and edges displayed. To the right it has the Featuring section of the caption displayed with the following text underneath:
