Yearly Challenge 2025
Sign-ups are open throughout 2025.
The challenge will end on December 31, 2025.
The Challenge
1. Comment here to sign up and I will create a challenge thread for you. You can sign up at any point during the year but only for the months that are left. Example: If you join in January, you will be able to participate in the months January-December. If you join in March, you will be able to participate in the months March-December.
2. Each month, I will post prompts surrounding a specific theme to your thread. There will be 9 prompts each month, divided into 3 levels. For the completion of a level 1 prompt, you will receive 1 point. For level 2, you will receive 2 points and for level 3 it will be 3 points.
To receive each month's Book Award, please complete one prompt in each level. You can complete as many prompts as you want and are able to and in any order. Note that only books completed in the respective months will be accepted.
3. You have 3 free skips throughout the challenge but you can only use one free skip each month. To skip a prompt, please read a book that meets the general guidelines.
If you are out of free skips or want to use another skip in that month, you can either:
- spend 2 points to complete a prompt from a previous month,
- spend 3 points to complete a prompt from the current month twice or
- spend 5 points to read a book that meets the general guidelines.

📸 Investigation: Theo Zhang
Theo’s magic show has been cancelled.
Guests are saying it’s “out of respect”—but some say the real reason is darker.
He didn’t seem shocked when Javier died. In fact… he didn’t seem shocked by anything.
And someone found a list in his cabin. A list with seven names. One of them now crossed out.
🗣️ Interrogation Snippet:
“Magic is just misdirection,” Theo says, slowly shuffling a deck of cards. “But murder? That’s personal.”
He smiles. “Javier thought he was clever. Said he’d figured out what I was really doing on this ship. Said he was going to warn someone.”
He places a card on the table. It’s the King of Hearts. “Maybe he should’ve worried about himself instead.”
📚Tasks:
1. Read a book with a manipulative or mysterious male character
2. Read a book involving a list, secret plan, or conspiracy
3. Read a book with a “cat-and-mouse” feel between characters
📸Captain Elias Monroe
Captain Elias Monroe has captained Euphoria of the Seas for over a decade. Calm under pressure and always in control, he’s respected by his crew and trusted by the guests.
But no one really knows him beyond his polished professionalism.
He’s rarely seen off duty, and when he is, he’s usually alone—staring at the sea like it’s holding a secret.
Maybe it is.
📚Tasks:
1. Read a book featuring a leader or authority figure
2. Read a book where the setting plays an important role
3. Read a book with a blue or white cover
🔥 Rustic Cabin Style
1. Read a book set in the mountains or wilderness 🏔️
2. Read a book with a warm-colored cover (orange, brown, red) 🍂
3. Read a book that gives you cozy vibes ☕
✅
The Great War
Tasks:
1: Read a book with MPG War.
2: Read a memoir.
3: Read a book with "great" in the title.
📸Javier Rivas
Javier Rivas lights up every room he walks into.
He’s charming, confident, and always the first to suggest shots at the bar.
But he watches his wife like a hawk, and more than one guest has heard him raise his voice behind closed doors.
He says he loves her more than anything.
He just doesn’t like when she talks to strangers.
📚Tasks:
1. Read a book featuring a toxic or controlling relationship
2. Read a book with dual POVs or contrasting perspectives
3. Read a book where love and danger are intertwined
