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 🤔​.

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 :(
