Drum Roll…2026 Passionate Reading Challenge is Here!!!
Thrilling to create my first Reading Challenge💕
Hello lovely readers,
Happy New Year🎉 I hope you enjoy last week’s rather sad book recommendations on the romances that wrecked me in 2025. As a new year comes, we are also welcoming new challenges. So drum roll……I’m launching my first reading challenge!!! Let’s into the details!!!
2026 Passionate Reading Challenge💕
This is my first year creating a reading challenge and I am beyond thrilled to share this with you this year! Please screenshot this and start your Passionate Reading Challenge💕
Why A Reading Challenge?
The reading challenge aims to encourage readers to read outside of their usual reading comfort zone and read with passion at the time. I would also like to challenge myself by widening my own reading list as well as try out new things in this blog. For instance, there are challenges such as ‘A book that is set in a place that’s never been’ and ‘A book features an uncommon profession’. However, there are also some easier challenges such as ‘A series’, ‘a rom-com’ and ‘a 2026 release’.
The thing is reading one book might help you accomplish multiple challenges. For instance, you could listen to a MM romance with BIPOC characters which would have earned you three challenges done. So it’s actually not that hard to accomplish!!
