June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to celebrate vulnerability, emotional strength, and the complexity of the male experience. This reading challenge highlights books that feature introspective, emotionally rich, or healing-centered stories about men.

Whether you're looking for fiction or nonfiction, memoirs or quiet slice-of-life tales, these prompts will guide you through a thoughtful reading experience. No romance required. Just healing, growth, and the quiet power of connection.

Check out this list created by the Harris County Public Library for some great selections!
