Overview

A challenge focused on reading mystery, thriller and horror for the spooky season in 2025, but you can complete it in whatever month you prefer. To make it harder for people who frequently pick up books of these genres, add to the challenge only the best or scariest stories among your spooky reads this year.

I'm also hosting challenges for: fantasy tropes, epic poems, poetry collections, anthologies, audiobooks, big books, standalones, book chains, book covers, fantasy tropes, Dark Academia, Kafka's works, Brazilian lit, Everything Everywhere All at Once and BTS' solos.

To easily visualize your reading year, here's the 2025 Reading Wrap Up.

And here's my guide on how to read more regularly.
