Quarterly Reading Challenge Check In

Can you believe we are almost half of the way through 2026? It’s been a really rough year for me this year, so I definitely haven’t made as much progress on my challenges than I had hoped but here is what I’ve managed to do so far.

FYI, I completely forgot to do my first quarterly wrap up so this is everything from January combined.

Challenge 1: Read 52 Books in 2026

I have currently read 30 books so I am 5 books ahead on this challenge!

Challenge 2: Read 12 Books Recommended by 12 Friends

I have read 5 of the 12 books for this challenge so I am 1 book behind.

Challenge 3: Series Catch Up Challenge

I have finished 5 series from my list so far.

Challenge 4: ARC Backlog Challenge

This is the one I am failing spectacularly at. I haven’t read any books from this so far. This second half of the year is going to have a focus on this challenge.

Do you do reading challenges? If so, how are you doing?
