2025 Reading Plans/Challenges

 

Once again similar to last year, I have taken some time to really figure out what challenges I want to do in 2025.  I pretty much do them for my own enjoyment, but I want to make sure they are something I could realistically achieve.  I scoured the web and found a few which I not only wanted to share with you but also wanted to document for my own tracking purposes.  

As always, I will still be doing several buddy read with Stormi each month and I also participate in an Facebook book club called "Scream with Mel" where we read and discuss what is usually a backlisted horror book each month.  

What an Animal 2025 - Hosted by Socrates' Book Reviews

This challenge consists of reading book where an animal is prominently featured.  The animal could also be a supernatural "animal" such as a dragon, werewolf, vampire, etc.  You get the drift. I am going for the highest level, LEVEL 4 which is 21 or more books.

LIBRARY LOVE CHALLENGE - Hosted by Books of My Heart

This challenge has three different semesters when you commit to reading 12 library books each 4-month semester.  There are lots of giveaways and stuff so if you use your library, including Libby or Hoopla, then I highly suggest you check this out.

Taylor Swift Challenge/Horror Edition

I found this in a Facebook horror group I am in, and it looked fun.  I'm not a HUGE Swifty but did really enjoy her Folklore and Dead Poet's Society albums.

2025 Books of Horror Reading Challenge

This came from the same Facebook group.  I tried to do the same one last year and hit 20 of 24 prompts. 

TBR and Beyond 2025 Reading Challenge

This is the same group I do the "Scream with Mel" book club and I didn't do this last year but saw it and thought I'd give it a go.  I can't seem to get the picture uploaded but it basically has  different prompts.

So there you have it.  I definitely allow books to double up across challenges, just not within the same challenge.  And the last three are really the only ones where I have to make books fit prompts, so I figure it's doable.  And if not, that's why they are called challenges right?
