2025 Reading Challenges
My library has started doing a yearly Reading Challenge. 2024 was the second year, and the second year I maybe read a handful of books to fit the challenge. It’s put together to get your to read out of your comfort zone and while I do read broadly with 2 book clubs I don’t always have a lot of time to just read for fun.
Back when Little Thoughts was a blog, I tired to keep up with a lot of those blogging reading challenges. I still follow a lot of those blogs on my Feedly feed. One of those is My Reader’s Block. Bev shares a number of reading challenges and I think I’m going to join in on a few of them in 2025. I think I can read more for fun after those book club picks with these two challenges.
