2025 “Wrapping Up the Year” Reading Challenge
Duration:
October 1 – December 31, 2025

As the year winds down, it’s time to take stock of your reading journey! The “Wrapping Up the Year” Reading Challenge is your chance to catch up on unfinished books, explore new genres, and tackle those lingering TBRs before the calendar flips. Whether you’re aiming to complete a handful of tasks or go full-on reading adventurer, this challenge encourages reflection, exploration, and a little literary fun. Each month has its own theme and set of tasks — from cozy fall reads to boundary-pushing November choices, and ending with reflective, goal-oriented December selections.

Choose your level and complete the corresponding number of tasks each month:

Easy: Complete any 5 tasks
Medium: Complete any 10 tasks
Hard: Complete all 15 tasks
