2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

TBR JAR
Duration: January 1 - December 31, 2026

This high-demand challenge is back for another year! Whether you like to plan your reading for the year ahead of time, or pick books at random, this challenge works the way you want it to work! There are 3 options for ways to pick your books for this challenge. You can stick with one or dabble in all 3!

Step 2: Go to the “My Books” tab on the top of the Goodreads Page.
Step 3: Bring up your “Want-To-Read” shelf.
Step 4: On the bottom of the page in the middle, go to the “sort” field and select “Random.”
Goodreads will generate a random list of books for you!

2) You can use the following tasks and pick a matching book later.

Write all your selected book titles or tasks on slips of paper, throw them in a jar, and shake! (Or, if you like, use the digital equivalent.) Just let us know how many books you will be reading for this challenge.

We love how creative you all are, and would love to see the pictures of your jars! Happy Reading!

How to Participate:

1. Post here telling the challenge leader how many books you plan to read.
You may choose your books at the beginning, or add them as you go. You may join any time during the year, and may change your goal whenever needed.

2. When you finish books for the challenge, edit your original post or member’s corner thread to add them.
Instructions are in the how-to link below.

3. To have your progress updated, post a new comment here to let the challenge leader know.
Every time you post an update, be sure to include your original (sign-up) message number, the number of books you have completed, and your goal. We use your original message number to identify you, since multiple members may have the same profile name.

P.S. Please do not delete posts! It changes the message numbers, complicating the update process for both leaders and participants. If you wish to leave the challenge, simply post a comment here to let us know. You may edit your original post to say {deleted}. Thank you!
