2025 Library Love Challenge @booksofmyheart.bsky.social @books_of_myheart @angelsbooknook17.bsky.social @angelsbooknook17 #2025LibraryLoveChallenge

Hosted by Angel’s Book Nook & Books of My Heart, this is a favorite challenge. I love libraries and so many of the books I read are sourced by them. This will be my seventh year participating in the challenge.

Details

This year they are changing things up. The challenge will be in three semesters. What this means is more giveaway’s along with the Mini-Challenges throughout the year and the End-of-Year Check In. You can join 1 or more semesters and participate in as many Mini-Challenges as you like. The Audiobook Challenge will be June 1 – July 31. The Library Bingo (with our COYER friends) will run September 1 – October 31. It’s up to you how much you participate and you can join anytime! The SIGN-UP will remain open until Dec. 2nd, 2025.

➜ Winter Semester: Jan. 1st, 2025 – April 30th, 2025
➜ Summer Semester: May 1st, 2025 – Aug. 31st, 2025
➜ Autumn Semester: Sept. 1st, 2025 – Dec. 31st, 2025

• 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 (prints, ebooks, or audios); 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.
