Humor Reading Challenge 2026

 Another I am bringing back. 


Choose a level from below.  You may go up a level, but not down.

Cartoonist: 1-5 books

Humor Columnist: 6-10 books 

Comedy Writer:  11-15 books

Stand Up Comedian: More than 15 books 


Guidelines for the Challenge:

Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2026. Books must be started on or after January 1 to count. Re-reads are allowed as long as they are read during the specified time frame.

Books may cross over to other challenges in which you are participating.

Any book (fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, graphic novels, poetry collections, plays, picture books) labeled as humor counts. As such, all book formats (paper, audio, electronic) may be read.

You do not need a blog to sign up. You may keep tract of your progress on Goodreads, Amazon or other similar sites with a shelf dedicated to this challenge. Or sign up on Facebook, Bluesky, Youtube, etc. 

There will be no checkins, nor do you need to post reviews.

There are so many different challenges. Do you do them all?

Yes, there are lots of them. Too meat to count. I'm a moderator for a Facebook group that collects such challenges, so I'm always looking for them. There are the ones I regularly do. Watch for future postings or see some of my archives.
