TBR Challenge 2025 is a fun way to actually read all those books I’ve been accumulating over the years. “Your mission, should you choose to accept it: once a month pull a dormant book out of your TBR pile and read it. On the 3rd Wednesday of the month, talk about that book. If you’re on social media all you need to do is use the #TBRChallenge hashtag – there’s no need to sign-up and your participation can vary throughout the year. You can use this hashtag on any day, at any time – but we’re still going to concentrate on the 3rd Wednesday of every month to kick our commentary into high gear. The idea is to have at least one day a month where we can always count on there being book chatter.”
