I took part in 3 annual reading challenges this year, an audiobook challenge which I have already updated on and also the Goodreads challenge and a Beat the Backlist challenge…..let’s see how I did!

Goodreads

I set my goal to 65 books and I’m now up to 79 books read!

Beat the Backlist

I said I wanted to read 20 backlist books and I only read 17….so I failed!

I don’t think I’m going to do any challenges in 2026 (apart from Goodreads). I’ll take a year off and see if that takes the pressure off a bit so I can get back into ‘fun’ reading again!

Did you join a challenge for 2025? How did you do?
