I've Been Deputized!

As I write this, we are just a couple weeks from the start of the month of June and that means the beginning of the June on the Range BookTube Reading Event! Not only that, but THIS year, I have officially been brought on as a co-host by event creator, Michael K. Vaughan!

If you've been following this here on-again/off-again blog for a while, last year, while I hadn't officially launched my YouTube channel yet, I still opted to participate in June on the Range right here through text and images. I had an absolute blast joining in on the fun then, but this year I've got some awesome plans in store for VIEWERS of The Wild Digest.

I have already posted a bit of a loose TBR for the month in which I mention the following possibilities for each week including:

• The Haunted Hills (1934) by E.M. Bower
• The Deputy Sheriff of Commanche County (1940) by Edgar Rice Burroughs
• The Whistler (1953) by E.B. Mann
• Donovan (1961) by Elmer Kelton
• Forced March to Loon Creek (1964) by William Chamberlain

I also teased my random reading of a few short stories from the Pronzini and Greenberg Best of the West series (and I actually have three more of those on their way to me right now including The Arizonans, The Montanans, and The Texans).

Additionally, I'd love to sneak in something by Louis L'Amour and/or Zane Grey as works by the two of them are typically encouraged during the month (them's the rules!), but we shall see how that goes. I DID actually just read Taggart by L'Amour a few weeks ago and quite enjoyed it.

Anyway, lots of great stuff coming your way during the month of June (and yes, I WILL be devoting an episode to Western-themed TTRPGs), so keep your eyes on my YouTube channel and also be sure to check out all the other videos from my fellow June on the Range co-hosts!
