Welcome to the BookBrowse Reading Challenge, July - December 2026 edition.
The goal is to read a book that fits each topic below by December 1. Everyone who completes the challenge will be entered to win a BookBrowse t-shirt (20 available, and if more than 20 readers qualify we’ll have a random drawing).
Here are the rules:
- You can only count a book once (e.g., you can’t use War and Peace for both the pre-1950 book and the book in translation).
- Books must be started and finished within the challenge period.
- Audiobooks count.
- Re-reads are OK.
To be eligible for the t-shirt drawing:
- You can join the challenge at any time, but you must complete all tasks by December 1.
- You must post about the book on the Community Forum.
- You must add the book to your BookBrowse Online Reading List and publicly post the review from there. (Note: Some older books can’t be added to the reading list. You can still read these books for the challenge, just note that in the completed section.)
How to post your books on bookbrowse.com:
- Log in to bookbrowse.com.
- Click Members - My Reading List
- Type the name of the book in the Search box.
- Change the dropdown to the correct status (Currently Reading or Have Read) and click the Add button.
- Once you’ve read the book, return to the My Reading List, find the book, and click Edit.
- Fill in the stats (date read, rating)
- Under Notes, type in your review, then click Publish As Review when you’re ready to post it publicly.
