The Christmas Reading Challenge is hosted by Jodie @ That Happy Reader. Since many publishers release their holiday stories in September and October, the challenge starts on October 1, 2026 and runs through December 31, 2026. My goal is to read 5.
How it Works
- Just choose 20, 15, 10 or even 5 books that you’d like to read (and hopefully review). They do not have to be Christmas-themed but hopefully at least half of them will be.
- Make a quick introductory post of what you plan to read. You may to use the image the host created for her challenge or one of your own.
- Link back to the host and comment.
- Want to swap a book? Go for it.
- Fancy changing your list half way through? No problem.
- Deciding to drop your goal from 15 to 10 (or even 5)? That works.
- Please use #2026ChristmasReadingChallenge when posting
