Kim and Tanya at the Chapter Adventure blog are once again hosting the Key Word Reading Challenge. It is one of my favorite challenges so I will be rejoining the challenge in 2025.
The challenge Rules are simple:
1) Read a book each month with one (or more) of the key words in the title. Variations of key words are allow. For example: Drown, Drowning, Drowned are all okay for the key word ‘drown’.
2) Follow @chapter_adventure on Instagram and Threads if you’re on there. And/or join our Goodreads Group (GXO Reading Challenges). The challenge has also been added to Storygraph if you prefer to track your progress there! Post about your read for that month on our monthly check-in post here or at any of the platforms previously mentioned with the hashtag #keywordreadingchallenge.
3) The challenge runs the calendar year.
4) Link your book reviews on the Chapter Adventure site.
