The 52 Book Club: 2025 / 2026 Challenge discussion

March 2025 - A Book You’ve Been Meaning To Get To “Eventually"

You know that book that you’ve been meaning to read but just haven’t gotten to? Now is the time! This month’s mini-challenge is all about clearing books out of our TBR. Book choices will vary widely from reader to reader. For this prompt, pick a book from your to-be-read pile that you keep putting off.


There will be no Goodreads list for this prompt as everyone has a different TBR

I read The Outlaw by Lily Graison, oldest (2012) book on my Kindle. 4 Stars

Definitely, The Librarian of Crooked Lane, for me.

I have been saying I was going to read this book for as long as I can remember....well, this is the month I finally read it!!

I will be reading Moby Dick or The Whale by Herman Melville


HAPPY TBR READING!!

I'm planning on reading Measure for Measure. It kills two birds with one stone since it fits with a separate reading challenge outside of this one :-)

For this one I am going with:


The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us

I've had this one on my shelf for a couple of years now.

I've had this for ages, one of the oldest of my Swedish history books, might even be from before I moved in to my present appartment (2008) since my edtion (paperback) was released in 2003.



I skuggan av Cathay by Dick Harrison

I remember borrowing the hardcover edtion at the library, but not finishing it. libris.kb.se/bib/8382220

Love the TBR focused challenge!
A book that was recommended by a co-worker a long time ago... March is Women's History Month, a good reason to finally get to this one.
Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

This is my favorite mini challenge so far! I am reading Us Against You by Fredrik Backman. Read Beartown last year and have been wanting to read this one since.

The first book listed on my TBR list on Goodreads is:

The Wild & Free Family by Ainsley Arment.

I read the graphic novel Yossel, April 19, 1943 by Joe Kubert. It's been on my TBR since Feb 2023.

Oy so many...

The Master and Margarita
War and Peace
Infinite Jest

And so many more... lol

I read We Are Displaced by Malala Yousafzai. Written more for middle grade, ya. Beautiful book. Highly recommend.

I read The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell, which I had been meaning to read for years. So glad that this Mini-Challenge “forced” me to finally read it.

A Thousand Boy Kisse[bookcover:A Thousand Boy
Kissess|25912358]

When this was raved about on book tok I brought the book but haven't got round to reading it so my aim this year is to reduce my TBR shelf.

I read The Dying Hour by Rick Mofina. This book has been on my TBR for awhile so I thought I would use it for this challenge. I’m so glad I did!

I’m planning to read “The Testaments” by Margaret Atwood. I’ve started already with The Handmaid's Tale. I’ve put this series on hold for too long.

The oldest book on my GoodReads TBR is, A Taste for Monsters I'd read it before the final edits, as Matt is a friend. Indeed he is the one who initially invited me to GoodReads, however he left once his first book was published. Anyway, I've never read the final version of A Taste for Monsters. This is the year I do. I'm also using it for a book by an author who has won the Edgar Award.

My local library has a TBR challenge through April~List and read 5 books on your TBR pile. So far I've read Purple Hibiscus (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) and The Keeper of Lost Things (Ruth Hogan).

Been meaning to read 60 seconds your hired for months I finished it this week just in time as I applied for a new job I hope I can put the skills I learned to use in interview 🤞🏻

I've had The Girl with the Emerald Flag by Kathleen McGurl in my Kindle library for a couple of years now. Maybe it's time to read it.

I've had A Thousand Boy Kisses


this since it was a book tok thing but have never got round to it. Maybe it's time I did read it.

I read Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens rated 5 stars

I am currently reading Little Thieves by Margaret Owen ( I want to start this triology since last year)

Mine was The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

I read Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.

My Mechanical Romance - Alexene Farol Follmuth

Read Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer from Sep 28, 2025 to Oct 3, 2025 (finally! LOL) I bought this back in 2020 and started reading it, but got busy with life and never finished. Finished and used it for multiple prompts this year :)
