2026 Thoughtful Reading Challenge

 Doing this one again. I love the shoutouts to different days each month. 



The Thoughtful Reading Challenge is designed to be manageable – just one book a month. Easy peasy, right? The monthly book challenges are also tied to notable things about that month, whether it’s historical events, holidays, or even authors’ birthdays.

January – Read a self-help book, preferably related to one of your New Year’s resolutions.

February – Read a book with the word “heart” in the title, because of Valentine’s Day.

March – Read a biography of a woman you admire to commemorate International Women’s Day.

April – Read a collection of fairytales by Hans Christian Andersen, who was born in April 1805.

May – Read a book that mostly takes place at a wedding, since May is a popular month to get married.

June – Read a book published the year you turned six, since June is the sixth month of the year.

July – Read a book set during the American Revolution, because July 4th is Independence Day.

August – Read a spy novel because Mata Hari was born on August 7th, 1876.

September – Read a book centered on the main character’s job to celebrate Labor Day.

October – Read a book with “library” or “bookstore” or “bookshop” in the title because October is National Book Month.

November – Read a book written by Mark Twain to celebrate his birthday (November 30th, 1835).

December – Read a book centered on a gift or with gift in the title, because December is a time of giving.
