It’s January- time to map out your reading challenges for 2023! Love them or hate them, reading challenges are here to stay. The new year means a fresh start for our never-ending TBR lists. A wide, blank page full of possibilities for our reading lives. Reading challenges can be seen as a new year’s resolution of sorts, a way to track what and how we read. Many readers love challenging themselves to read new authors, genres, and formats.
We’ve put together a selection of fun reading challenges that are out there for 2023. We’ve only selected 25 of our favorites, but Girlxoxo has a pretty comprehensive Master List of Reading Challenges if you’re looking for more! There are also a ton of reading challenges for 2023 listed on The Storygraph too, so check those out too. Even if you don’t end up completing any of the challenges you start (we know we won’t), remember it’s all about having fun!
