The 52 Book Club: 2025 / 2026 Challenge discussion

WEEKLY CHECK-IN
August 13, 2025 -- Week 33

Note: These weekly check-ins are always taken straight from our Facebook group, some games that are easy to play there are hard to play here. :(


This week, let's compare our 2025 challenges so far and see how similar they are!

Drop your 2025 challenge graphic in the comments (the one with all the book covers). It doesn't matter how many prompts you've completed, just show us what you've got so far! Then, take a look through the comments and see who is most similar to you.

Award yourself:
1 point -- if the book they used is on your TBR
2 points -- if you've read the book but not for this challenge
5 points -- if you used the same book on your 2025 challenge
10 points -- if you used the same book AND the same prompt on your 2025 challenge

How many points can you get?
