2025 Southern Literature Reading Challenge

 Doing this one again at Introverted Reader, getting as many books as possible.


Welcome to the 2025 Southern Literature Reading Challenge! We’ll focus on books and authors from the southeastern region of the United States.

Definition of “The South”

Definitions of the South are flexible, so I’ve decided to base my definition on the current makeup of the Southern Legislative Conference:

  • Alabama
  • Arkansas
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Kentucky
  • Louisiana
  • Mississippi
  • Missouri
  • North Carolina
  • Oklahoma
  • South Carolina
  • Tennessee
  • Texas
  • Virginia
  • West Virginia

That said, I’m not looking for a debate and I’m flexible. These are only guidelines so use your best judgment.

Rules

  • Read books by Southern authors set largely in the South
  • You can read any genre, including fiction or nonfiction, classics, or contemporary works
  • You can read books meant for any age group
  • Crossovers with other challenges are fine
  • Any format that you choose is also acceptable
  • The challenge will run from January 1 through December 31, 2025
  • A blog is not required for participation; you can also link to reviews on other sites such as GoodReads or Instagram
  • Sign up anytime throughout the year
  • I’ve tried to keep this simple but if you have any questions, reach out in the comments, via social media (links in my sidebar), or my contact form.
  • Most importantly, have fun!
