A-Z Reading challenge

Ready to take on the alphabet one book at a time? This challenge is straightforward yet full of opportunities to personalize your reading journey. The goal is to read a book that corresponds to each letter of the alphabet. Some readers opt for book titles that begin with the exact letter, while others choose titles starting with words like “A” or “The” and use the next word’s first letter. It’s all about your style and how you want to approach it! Personally, I love to challenge myself by sticking strictly to titles that match the corresponding letter. To make things easier for you, I’ve curated a list of book suggestions for each letter, plus a Notion template to track your progress. (And let’s not forget how tricky finding books for Q, X, and Z can be, right? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!)

Book Trope bingo

Get ready to dive into a reading adventure like no other! Book Trope Bingo is your chance to explore the fascinating world of popular book tropes. Whether you’re into “enemies to lovers,” “found family,” or “the chosen one,” this challenge invites you to immerse yourself in familiar favorites and discover new tropes along the way. All you need is your reading journal, a notebook, or our FREE PRINTABLE bingo card to get started. As you read, check off each trope you come across and see if you can score a bingo. The journey is half the fun, and who knows what new favorites you’ll find? Happy reading, and may the tropes be ever in your favor!

Read’em all
Road trip

Who can resist a road trip, especially one that lets you explore the world from the comfort of your favorite reading spot? The Read’em All Road Trip challenge is one of my personal favorites! We’ve even created printable trackers just for you! The rules are simple: read a book set in each U.S. state, and as you do, color in the state on the map or jot down the book title. It’s a fun way to explore new places without leaving home! Don’t forget to check out the Read’em All Road Trip page for book suggestions and, of course, our free printables. (Plus, there’s a handy Notion tracker template for you too!).
