2026 Traveling the World Reading Challenge

2026 Traveling the World Reading Challenge Tracking Post

This is a spin-off from Escape with Dollycas. I say that because I can’t seem to read every one of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. So, I decided to create my own, which allows me to read a number of my choosing. Challenge Runs from January 1st to December 31st

Challenge – Pick the number of states and/or countries you think will be in the books you plan to read. Declare that somewhere and start reading. (No repeats counted – but you can keep track so you know which areas you read the most.) Books can be in any format: print, digital, audio, fiction, or non-fiction. (I only read fiction, but do what you wish.)

I track it here and in a notebook, but feel free to do what is best for you. You can also check out Escape with Dollycas’ Literary Escapes Reading Challenge. If you would like to join but prefer a notebook, send me an email, and I will have Jen send you the notebook pages that she created for me.
