2025 Reading Challenges: Library Love Challenge
I’m signing up for the 2025 Library Love Challenge hosted by Angel’s Book Nook & Books of My Heart. This year, I want to try to buy fewer books (yeah, good luck with that!) and to support my local libraries by using them more. I’ll be signing up for a new library card from our county public library, and continuing to pay a nominal fee to use the regional library system near us.
My goal is to read and review at least 12 library books in 2025.
12 books is the minimum goal you can choose. And as I said in yesterday’s sign-up post, the “and review” part is important for me. I have a bad tendency to put off writing reviews, so I need to make that part of my goal.
Details:
This year’s challenge is divided into three trimesters. (Which to be honest is a little more complicated to keep track of than I was anticipating, but I’ll do my best.)
➜ Winter Semester: Jan. 1st, 2025 – April 30th, 2025
➜ Summer Semester: May 1st, 2025 – Aug. 31st, 2025
➜ Autumn Semester: Sept. 1st, 2025 – Dec. 31st, 2025
There will also be a few Mini-Challenges. The Audiobook Challenge will be June 1 – July 31. The Library Bingo will run September 1 – October 31. And there’s a Goodreads group (optional) if you are interested; details on the official sign-up page.
Rules:
- The goal is to find your love of your local library and to read at least twelve (12) books from the library, but you can read more. While twelve is the minimum; there is no maximum limit.
- Any format will work for this challenge (print, eBook, or audio.) As long as you checked it out from the library, it counts.
- Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).
- Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads. The goal is to support your local library and save money.
- (Optional) Reviews: Write a review to enter the giveaway – 2 sentences or an essay, whatever works for you, but there is a minimum of 2 sentences. Not sure what to write? How about something like; “The plot was a delight, but the characters didn’t capture me.” “I enjoyed the story and really liked the characters.”
- Please use #LibraryLoveChallenge when sharing your reviews, library pictures, etc.
