2025 Mid-Year Check In: Reading Challenges


I am honestly afraid to be checking in. This is probably one of the worst reading years I have had. Ideally, I would like to be at the 50% mark, but yeah, I don't think so. Lol. Let's see how bad I'm doing! 😃


Goodreads Reading Challenge

The challenge: Read 52 books in 2025.

Progress: 27/52 (52%). I am technically doing great on this one. I'm even one book ahead. But by this point last year, I had read 10 books MORE than I have this year 😬 Like I said, it's been a terrible reading year.


52 books in 52 weeks Reading Challenge

The challenge: Read 52 books in 52 weeks.

Progress: ❌ Guys, I already failed this one. I missed two weeks 😭



The challenge: To read one book that has a title starting with every letter of the alphabet.

Progress: 12/26 (46%). I'm not where I should be, but not too bad. At least I've still got time 😅



The challenge: To read one book that has an author whose first name, middle, or last name starts with every letter of the alphabet.

Progress: 15/26 (57%) I'm actually doing a lot better on this one! Truly shocked 😂



The challenge: Read books you have owned before January 1, 2025.

Progress: 6/36 (16%) 👀 Not even shocked. Lol.



The challenge: Read 10 Netgalley/Edelweiss books.

Progress: 2/10 (20%). Also not surprised by this one. Lol. To be fair, I don't request a lot of books these days. This challenge is more to motivate me to read the books I've had for a while. Clearly it's not working 😅



The challenge: Finish/catch up on series.

Progress: 3/9 (33%). Another one that is not shocking to me. Lol. I haven't really been reading a whole lot of series. I mean, mostly manga, but I haven't finished any of those yet since they're still ongoing.



The challenge: Complete 25 reading prompts.

Progress: 13/25 (52%). Ooooh I'm doing pretty good on this one! It is a fun challenge. Lol.



The challenge: Complete 25 reading prompts.

Progress: 17/25 (68%). And I'm doing even better on this one! Again, these are really fun.



The challenge: To read 12 different books (1 per month) that fit each of the 12 prompts.

Progress: 5/12 (41%). I have fallen 1 book behind, but overall I'm doing pretty good on this one!


Reading Challenge Addict

The challenge: Enter and complete 6-10 reading challenges.

Progress: 0/6-10 (0%). This one is fine for now. I don't start to worry about till the end of the year. Lol.



The challenge: Write 41+ discussion posts

Progress: 12/41 (29%). I'm usually really good at keeping up with this one, but like I said, horrible reading year. And that always translates to a bad blogging year, and you can tell. This time last year, I think I was something like 60% done with this challenge 😬


I'm on track on 4/12 (33%) total challenges 😬 That is... as bad as I was expecting 😅

Let me know how you're doing in your reading challenges!
