Duration: January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025


It’s time to take control of your reading and rearrange your virtual bookshelves!

This yearly challenge will help you organize your reading plans around "thematic bookshelves.” Although you’re given the general concept of each of the 20 shelves, it’s up to you to fine-tune your chosen shelves to accommodate your reading tastes and plans.

If you are a returning Bookworm, please look carefully as the prompts have slightly changed.

You may repeat a shelf theme, if you wish, but your challenge should consist of at least two different themes, with two books minimum per shelf. Also note that you may count each book only once within this challenge, but feel free to apply that book to any of our other yearly, quarterly, and monthly challenges.

The 20 shelf themes are:
*An Author
*Award Winners
*A Book Genre
*Book Length (under 200 or over 500 pages)
*Books-to-Screen/Stage
*The Color of the Cover
*Diversity (in any form)
*A Feeling
*Formats and Styles (audiobook, graphic novel, epistolary, etc.)
*Heritage & Culture
*A Listopia
*A Location
*Memoirs, Autobiographies, & Biographies
*Mythology & Folklore
*Publishing Year/Decade
*Science & Technology
*Seasons & Holidays
*Time Period
*Title (starting with the same letter)
*Your Backlist (books added to your TBR prior to this year)


To see a sample set-up, click the spoiler tag. (view spoiler)


Please join us and bend the themes to your 2025 reading plans. Let’s make like oysters and be shelfish!
