Readings 2026 Challenge Completed!

A stack of books behind a black and white panel. The black panel has ten white shapes and white text that says Take the 2026 Reading(s) Challenge. There's a heart, a clover, an oval, a coffee cup, a speech bubble, a starburst, a book, a circle, an R and a trophy. All shapes have book titles in them.

And with that, another challenge is completed! I wasn’t sure whether I would get there with this one, as some of the ones for May and November I had either read already, or didn’t have an interest in. I never want to read a book for a challenge just to tick off a box, and I do enjoy liking what I read. I loved what I chose for each month here as I didn’t go with what might have been expected or what people might have thought was more suitable. Now, I just have two more challenges to finish, and I know most of the books I am reading for those, apart from next month’s December prompts for Dymocks. Anyway, onto completing my reading for the rest of the year!
