2026 Reading Challenges

Posted December 29, 2025 by Haze in Reading Challenges / 3 Comments

These are all the reading challenges I’m participating in for 2026. Click on the links to find out more!

The 52 Book Club’s 2026 Reading Challenge
The 52 Book Club’s annual reading challenge is made up of 52 unique prompts. The goal is to match one book to each prompt, for a total of fifty-two books over the course of the year. Prompts are related to everything from specific titles, to cover designs, authors, genres, settings, themes, characters, etc. (Think of it like a giant bookish scavenger hunt!) We encourage participants to try books outside of their regular reading comfort zones and push themselves to read more, read differently, and get creative with it!

The Classics Club
The Classic Club is a community of Classics Lovers who are taking on the challenge of reading at least 50 classics in 5 years. It started when a blogger wanted to see more people discussing classic literature, and it has now grown to a huge community of classic readers and bloggers. I started this on Dec 1, 2023, and hope to finish my 50 classics by Dec 1, 2028.

The Stephen King Constant Reader Challenge
This is an informal challenge I have taken up for myself. I am a fan of the author but have not read many of his works yet, so this challenge is for me to read his full catalog, including rereads and any new books he releases while I’m completing the challenge. There is no time limit for this challenge. It is complete when I finish them.

2026 Nonfiction Reader Challenge
Hosted by Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out, it’s a nonfiction reading challenge for 2026. I signed up for it in 2024 and completed it but didn’t sign up in 2025 because I was feeling overwhelmed. I ended up really missing the challenge so I decided to sign up again for 2026!


I am also still looking for a couple more challenges for reading more bipoc books/authors, and for finishing series I’ve already started. If I don’t find any, I’ll probably just do them anyway, just more informally.
