Reading Challenges
| Prompt | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Finish your current read | Whatever book you went into February reading, finish that book |
| Read a book off your owned shelves | This can be your physical shelves, ebook, or audiobook. But read a book that you own |
| A book in a series | This can be any part of the series, but I would highly recommend reading one that helps you continue a series rather than starting a new one |
| Forgotten on your shelf or eReader | Those Stuff Your Kindle days and sales at bookstores really do get to us all, don't they. Read a book you got and then forgot you had |
| Black History Month: Read a book by a Black author | This one is pretty self explanatory. Read a book that was published by a Black author |
| A book from a previous TBR list | Read any book that you've put on a previous TBR before, whether it's a monthly one, one you made for a readathon, or even one you put on your 2024 TBR |
| Book on your TBR you've been avoiding | We all have those books that we know full well that we've been putting off reading for whatever reason, so now's the time to read that book |
| Read a book with water-related words in the title | If you're doing the Buzzword Title Challenge like I know a lot of us are, then you probably already planned to do this anyway. But just read a book that has some water-related word in the title |
| Read a book toward your 2025 reading goals | Easy peasy! Whatever goal you choose, whether it's one about reading what you want or a specific challenge, read a book that goes toward that |
| Read a banned book | There are lists ALL over the internet of books that have been banned for various reasons. |
| Read a sweet book | Whatever you'd classify as "sweet." Safe bets would be romances or cute contemporaries. Shoujo manga could work as well. |
| Read a book you bought on a whim | This can also go back to another Stuff Your Kindle book since if you're anything like me, those are all on a whim. But any book that you bought on a whim, so cover buys or ones that you didn't really look too much into before getting it |
Activity Challenges
| Prompt | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Self Care Day | Whatever YOU classify as "self care," spend the day doing that. This can be taking the day to relax and reset or spending the day cleaning your entire house |
| Declutter/Clean Something | We always have the declutter prompt, but we added cleaning something to it as well for the people who may not want to "declutter" |
| Do something creative | Whatever you do that you would count as "creative" counts. This can be posting a picture to social media, crocheting, journaling, anything creative |
| Cozy reading night | Cozy up with a nice blanket, hot drink, and a snack and get some reading done! |
| Date Night | Whether you do this with a partner or a friend or yourself, just treat yourself to a nice little date |
| Daily Dice Roll = Reading Time | This one is a bit more in-depth than the rest of the prompts. To generalize, you're rolling a dice to determine an amount of time to read for. The easiest way to do it is rolling a 6-sided dice and adding a zero to whatever you get. Then trying to read for that amount of time every day. So if you roll a 4, you'd try to read for 40 minutes a day. Note: you don't have to read for that amount every single day, but trying to make an effort to hit that most days is the goal |
| Play a game | This can be a board game, card game, video game, any type of "game" you choose |
| Get some fresh air | We know in some places it's going to be very cold, so only do this to the best of your ability without putting yourself in danger. Go for a walk, sit outside, sit next to a window. Whatever you can manage to get some fresh air |
| Participate in reading sprints | These don't have to be ones that are hosted by one of the Readathin hosts, but just join into some reading sprints that someone is hosting. Even if that means running some yourself. |
| Make a Spring Hopefuls List | Make a list of books that you hope to read this Spring! There are a few templates in the templates section of this website (if they aren't up right now, they will be soon), but feel free to make this list however you see fit |
| Make an Ins and Outs List | For this one, make a list of things that you want to "bring in" to this year and things you want to "get out." These can be bookish or not and you don't have to share them |
| Watch Something | Whether it's YouTube, a movie, a tv show, or whatever! Just take a break from reading and watch something! |
2025 Reading Challenges
| Challenge | Link | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 GoodReads/Storygraph | - | This challenge isn't available yet, but it's just choosing the number of books you want to read during the year. |
| 12 Challenge | Template by @ShadowBooker on Instagram | I don't know who started this challenge, but it is one that I see around every year. The template I shared was made by ShadowBooker on Instagram. I'm not sure if she'll make a new one for 2025, but that template doesn't have a year on it, so it could work if you want to start planning it now. |
| 25 in 2025 | Announcement | Now, this concept has been done for many years now, but Four Paws and a Book decided to make a bingo board this year with prompts! So that's what I'm sharing here, but I've seen people choose 25 specific books to read. |
| The 52 Book Club | Website | This hasn't been announced yet, but I do know that it's definitely happening in 2025, so I wanted to make sure to share it as a possibility. I'm not sure when the announcement will be going out, though. |
| A to Z Reading Challenge | - | I don't think this one has a specific link, but I do know that it's one that a lot of people end up doing. I'm sure there will be a Storygraph challenge for it, if there isn't already. This is the challenge to read a book that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Variations include author's name or allowing you to count the title of the book or the author's name. |
| Around the Year in 52 Books | GoodReads | Obviously this challenge has 52 prompts, but they all are fairly easy to fulfill, in my opinion. They also have the option to use a "wildcard" if there's a prompt that's just a bit too much out of your comfort zone. |
| BookRiot's Read Harder | - | While the official announcement is not out yet, they did confirm it will be happening and the announcement will be up in December. |
| Comet Readings' 2025 Reading Challenge | Announcement | I stumbled across this one in my journey and it looks super interesting! There are 52 challenges for this one and a lot look like they can definitely be easily combined with other reading challenges you're doing! |
| Diverse Baseline Challenge | Announcement | The announcement for this one was announced finally! So here it is! |
| 2025 Easy Reading Challenge | StoryGraph | This reading challenge gives one prompt for each month, so you only need to read 12 books to complete it! |
| The Hardest Reading Challenge | Announcement Video | This was announced in June 2024, but I personally decided to just wait and start it in 2025 so I have the full year to complete it instead of starting halfway through it. So I wanted to share it as a 2025 challenge as well. |
| 2025 Motif Reading Challenge | Announcement | Monthly Motif announced their reading challenge at the beginning of November, so I wanted to make sure it got shared here! |
| 2025 Read Your Bookshelf | Announcement | Chantel announced the 2025 Read Your Bookshelf challenge and the original goal was to read books from your shelves, but the host says that if you want to read outside of that, that's fine. |
| Romaneopoly 2025 | Webpage with Info | Romanceopoly has been happening for years now and they will be returning for 2025! |
| 2025 TBR "I Spy" | StoryGraph | This was on Storygraph, but I'm not sure if there's an actual announcement anywhere. These prompts seem to be based on finding specific things on the covers of the books you're reading. |
Possible Challenges Coming
| Challenge | Description |
|---|---|
| Buzzword Reading Challenge | There hasn't been any news on another Buzzwordathon just yet, but as soon as I hear something, I'll let you all know. This challenge is hosted by Kayla at BooksAndLala, though, and I do think it will be returning again. |
| PopSugar Reading Challenge | PopSugar hasn't announced their 2025 challenge yet, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it, for sure. I believe they've been doing this challenge for 10 years and 2025 will be year 11, so I would hope that they continue! I fully expect them to. |
| TBR Knockout | This challenge is hosted by Melanie over at CompletelyMelanie and it is focused on reading books from your TBR based on two different challenges each month. From what I've seen, Melanie hasn't said anything about a 2025 round, but I have a feeling that it will be coming back. |
