Reading challenge 2025

[alterkrmn]

The last days before 2024 ended I was scrolling through social media and saw that certain creator I follow because I like his posts about linguistics, tea, and books, posted a reading challenge, and I don't know why but I thought: "why not try?"

The challenge is very simple, there are 12 prompts, one for each month of the year:

• January: a book by an author from a country far from yours
• February: a book that someone dear to you chose for you
• March: a book with your favorite color on the cover
• April: a book you would have liked to read as a child
• May: a book adapted from other media
• June: a book by an lgbtqia author
• July: a book someone you admire liked
• August: a book that someone recommended on the internet
• September: a book by an author from your country
• October: a book that has to do with language/languages
• November: a fantasy or science fiction novel
• December: whatever book you want

Currently, I'm reading Married Thrice to Salted Fish, by Bikabi, it's danmei, and it counts because the author is from a country far away from mine.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish the challenge, because I suck at challenges. I ended up dropping the End of the Year Drama Challenge 2024 I started on fedi, for example. But I really want to try. Maybe another challenge will be not feeling guilty if I don't finish it, ha: Don't beat yourself up over things no one else cares about challenge, and anyone can join me whenever they want.

I'm wondering if I should say the name of the creator or link to his profile but I'm not sure 🤔​.

...why do I feel like I should jump to this, too? Aren't book bingo, queer book challenge, and TWO buzzword challenges enough? WHY BRAIN

Those are so many challenges already but if your entries for those align with this one, I don't see why not join, but also brains wanting to do everything is very relatable.

I hope you feel better soon, being sick and with an ear infection is the worst :(
