2026 Reading Challenges

After much thought and going back and forth, I have decided to reduce the number of challenges I am taking on for 2026. Here are the challenges I will do (and I reserve the right to add others during the year if I am so inclined). 

Dollycas hosts both the Alphabet Soup (Author edition) and the Alphabet Soup (Title edition). I usually get really close to completing, or I do complete, both of these challenges and I have fun reading children's books at the end of each year to get those more compliated letters.


I will do the Big Summer Book Challenge hosted by Sue at Book by Book (Memorial Day through Labor Day). Dollycas also hosts the Literary Escapes Reading Challenge, which I never complete, but, as a map/geography lover, I enjoy participating in it. The goal is to read a book set in each US state. I also read books set in as many countries outside the US as possible. 



It is time for me to take the Mount TBR Reading Challenge seriously, and this is the year. I am committing to the lowest peak: Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s with the hopes of actually doing more. The 2026 Nonfiction Reader Challenge with Shelleyrae from Book'd Out. This is my fifth year for this challenge. I am choosing Nonfiction Nibbler: Read & review 6 books, one book from 6 of the listed categories.


I broke down and am going to add 2 more challenges to my list (I have no self-control!) since I first posted this. I am doing the Cover Lovers Challenge hosted by Susan at Bloggin' Bout Books (Level Five: 41-50 books). I am also going to join the Immigration Reading Challenge hosted by Jen at Introverted Reader (1 to 3 books).
 

Here are another two challenges that Les reminded me of. Each of these takes place for only part of the year so I forgot about them momentarily. 20 Books of Summer and Nonfiction November are fan favorites.

What challenges are you participating in for 2026?
