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?
I love that Taylor Swift challenge. Good luck with all these!
ReplyDeleteThanks - there were tons of Swift ones out this year.
DeleteThese sound good and thanks for the Library Love shoutout. I don't read as much horror as you but you've found things to fit your interests.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
The Library Love one is one of my faves. I do it every year.
DeleteGood luck with all of these! That What an Animal challenge sounds like a lot of fun...and right up your alley. :D
ReplyDeleteYea, I always manage to make my goal on that one each year. I even raised my goal this year.
DeleteThe animal one will probably be easy for you! I love the horror challenges too. Good luck on them all!

Thanks Lisa. I enjoy the animal one a lot and since supernatural beings fit, it's easy to accomplish.
DeleteScream With Mel sounds interesting so I might check it out. I'm also curious about the BOH reading challenge and the What an Animal challenge. I'm already doing other challenges but I'll be interested to watch your progress!
ReplyDeleteIf you are interested, just look for the TBR and Beyond Facebook group. I find lots of great releases and stuff there as well.
