Reading Challenge 2026

I have so many books. Like, way too many books.

I can’t help it. I’ve always loved to read, ever since I was a little kid. I used to read multiple books a day. Hell, I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire twice in one day when I was in eighth grade. So now as an adult I have three bookshelves crammed with books. (Technically four, but the fourth is my nonfiction section). That might sound like a lot, but it’s a decent amount for a two bedroom apartment.

A lot of these books I haven’t read in years. Some of them I’ve never read at all. (I have a good reason for some of those). And I’d love to get back into reading.

So instead of setting a goal for myself of reading a certain number of books or a certain number of pages, I’ve decided to read all the physical books I own. Is this insane? Possibly. Especially since it’s a week into the new year and I haven’t started yet.

But I’ll start tomorrow! Or maybe the day after! I’ve created a selector wheel so I can work my way through my collection and stay surprised about my next choice. So we’ll see how it goes!
