2025 Non-Fiction Reading Challenge

Once again the Book'd Out Blog is hosting the Non-fiction Reader Reading Challenge in 2025. The aim of the Nonfiction Reader Challenge is to encourage you to make nonfiction part of your reading experience during the year.  I am joining at the Nonfiction Nosher level of participation which requires me to read 12 nonfiction books.  I don't read much nonfiction but I believe that I can meet this challenge next year.  

HOW IT WORKS

You can select, read and review a book from the categories listed below during the year for a total of up to 12 books; OR select, read and review any nonfiction book. A book may be in print, electronic or audio format.

Choose a goal:

Nonfiction Nipper: Read & review 3 books, from any 3 listed categories

Nonfiction Nibbler: Read & review 6 books, from any 6 listed categories

Nonfiction Nosher: Read & review 12 books, one for each category

Nonfiction Grazer: Read & review any nonfiction book. Set your own goal, or none at all, just share the nonfiction you read through the year.

* You can choose your books as you go or create a list in advance. You may combine this challenge with others if you wish. Use your best good faith judgement as to whether a book fits the category or not.

* Where a book is identified by more than one category, it may only count for one, not both.

* You can read your chosen titles in any order, at any pace, just aim to complete the challenge by December 31st 2025
