2025 Cover Lovers Reading Challenge

 This is a new one being offered this year. I like this idea and will get as many books as possible.


I love me a reading challenge and I especially love me a prompt-based challenge, so I decided to take a stab at creating my own. I've enjoyed searching out certain types of book covers this year for various challenges, which is why this challenge is focused on that. Each of the 50 prompts below include an element to look for on the covers of the books you read. 

Level One: 1-10 books

Level Two: 11-20 books

Level Three: 21-30 books

Level Four: 31-40 books

Level Five: 41-50 books
