Discussion - Challenge Accepted - 2026

This Week's Topic

Challenge Accepted - 2026




Happy 2026! It's that time of year where we start anew and select our reading challenges. I have a mix of old and new this year. In the past, I have held fast to monthly prompts, steering clear of those year-long, multi prompt challenges. I found those type of reading challenges tended to have too many prompts where I would be forced to read something I really didn't want to read. That's not fun to me, but this year, I came across a few that were doable. I would have to stretch a little, but not totally compromise my reading ways. 

Goodreads Challenge

I am continuing to set this challenge to 250 books. I know can do that comfortably, but I always hope to read more. 

Literary Escapes


I have done this challenge forever. I will combine this with Read Around the USA which has a few extra prompts. I feel good having already checked off a few tough states. 

Alphabet Soup


My attack on this challenge worked well last year. Many letters happen on their own, but I try to get those tough letters out of the way early. 

Monthly Motif


Another challenge I have been doing for years along with their Keyword Challenge below. 


Keyword Reading Challenge


Believe it or not, this is one of the toughest challenges for me. Those words seem so common until you are looking for them in a book title. 

Easy Reading Challenge

This is one of the prompt challenges I found on The StoryGraph. There are prompts for each month, and some were really interesting to me. 

2026 TBR Tackle

Another new challenge for me. There are 52 prompts for me to work on at my leisure. These were interesting without being tedious. 


Now it's your turn!
