2025: Alphabetical Bibliophile's Challenge
Welcome to the Alphabetical Bibliophile's Challenge, a year-long literary adventure designed to expand your reading horizons and deepen your love for books. This unique challenge takes you on a journey through the alphabet, with each quarter of the year offering a new set of literary explorations.
Quarter 1: Daring Explorers Forge Great Horizons In Literature
Quarter 2: Joyful Knowledge Leads Many New Observations
Quarter 3: Passionate Readers Seek Truths Unveiling Stories
Quarter 4: Vivid Worlds Xpand Your Zenith
Each quarter features 26 reading prompts, one for each letter of the alphabet.
Challenge Rules:
📚 Standard Challenge Rules are SUSPENDED for this challenge.
This means you have more flexibility in choosing books to fulfill the prompts, including shorter page counts, graphic novels, etc. HOWEVER, be aware that if you use a book in this challenge that doesn't meet the Standard Challenge Rules, you won't be able to use that same book for other group challenges that do require adherence to the Standard Challenge Rules.
🔖 Each book can only be used ONCE within this challenge, even if it fits multiple prompts.
🎨 You are encouraged to interpret the prompts creatively, but your interpretation should be reasonable and justifiable.
📖 There are no restrictions on book format (e-book, audiobook, physical book). For example, for the task "Audiobook narrated by the author", you don't have to listen to the audiobook for the book to qualify, it just needs to be a book whose author narrated the audiobook edition.
🗓️ You may complete the prompts in any order within each quarter.
Optional Challenge Booster:
🔤 Alliterative Adventure: For an extra challenge, try to complete each task using a book whose title begins with the same letter as the task. For example:
• "Adventure novel set in an unexplored land," read Amazon Adventure
• "Biography of a famous explorer or pioneer," read Barrow's Boys
• "Classic novel published before 1900," read Crime and Punishment
This is entirely optional and can be applied to as many or as few prompts as you like!
