This reading challenge, hosted by Austine @ Austine Decker.com, is returning for its 10th year in 2026! Designed to help you tackle all the books you keep meaning to read and still haven’t, this challenge is flexible enough to work for all kinds of readers. I’m pledging to read 30 books in 2026.
Guidelines
- The challenge runs from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
- The book must have been published in 2025 or earlier.
- You have to start and finish the book in 2026.
- Any format, any genre. Re-reads count, you don’t have to own the book, and you can join at any time.
- Track your BTB reading separately or pair it with another reading challenge!
- For more information, access the challenge here. There is no official signup.

I always promise myself to do the same, but somehow it never works out in the end haha. I’m currently at 26 pending ARCs, and that’s definitely way more than I had planned. xD
