Are you ready for 2026? Well we’re here to help with your 2026 reading resolutions! Our 2026 Reading Challenge features 52 challenges to help guide your reading whether it be to achieve reading a book a week or using the prompts to select your next read!
There aren’t any rules, so you can decide how you tackle the challenge—starting with number one and working through or randomly selecting a prompt. As for the prompts, some are open to interpretation, ‘explores loss‘ doesn’t have to be a death, it could be heartbreak, losing a job, or even a missing character; ‘guilty pleasure‘ could be a genre or a tasty treat mentioned in the title; or ‘questionable cover‘ could be a cover that doesn’t look great or perhaps a bit spicy!
We’ve also created some assets you can use on your socials plus there’s also a reading journal where you can track your books, ratings, and your thoughts. You can find all the download links underneath the challenge image below!
We would love to hear what you will be reading throughout the year and if you discover a book you love or wish to discuss, we’d love to feature your say on our website! Just head to our Contribute page or email us!
You can also share them with us on social media including Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram using @thenerdaily or the hashtags #thenerddaily and #nerdreading2026. Our Reading Challenge can also be found on Storygraph here.
