2025 Goodreads Reading Challenge Tracking Post
Hosted by: Goodreads
Goodreads hosts a reading challenge every year. You decide how many books you want to read. They keep a tally on your home profile page within Goodreads. The tally shows how many you have read and if you are ahead or behind the track to meet your goal. This is probably the easiest of all the reading challenges. It is as easy as:
- Sign in to Goodreads
- Pick the number of books to read this year
- Mark and rate each book when you finish it. *Leaving a review (even if it is short) will help the author to write more books.
There aren’t any prizes, just bragging rights and the feeling of accomplishment. You can also see how your friends are doing with their challenges.
