2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

Sign up here for TBR twins for January!
We'll pair you with someone who answered the questions in a compatible way, and the two of you will choose a book to read together for the month. This is all in an effort to decrease that TBR (to-be-read) list.

When you sign up, please answer the below questions. You will (to the best of our ability) be paired with someone who answers the questions in a compatible way.
1. What three genres are you interested in reading next month? (Please list specific genres and don't just say you would read "anything.")
2. Have you participated within the last four months? (If not, it’s ok! I’ll just pair you with a more seasoned participant!)
3. Have you verified that you can receive Goodreads messages from anyone? (see instructions in the link below) This is important! Many people struggle to contact their twin and it makes it a negative experience. Let’s just avoid that.

You will be notified of your TBR twin by the end of the month.

Note: please make sure you can receive messages in order to participate. Goodreads has recently made some changes in everyone's privacy settings, so please check out this thread to make sure that you and your twin can message each other. It also helps (but is not required) for your profile to not be set to private.
If you are having problems messaging your twin, there’s sometimes a trick to it. When you’re on someone’s profile, try to click the little down arrow by their name. Sometimes the option to send a message is hiding in there!

Please also don't sign up more than once! It messes with the pairings if we don't catch it.

Happy reading!
