2026 Reading Challenges

[acet]

All challenges are from Storygraph, I'm just also tracking them here so people are welcome to recommend books to me! (Inspired by kopi ♥)

My personal challenge is to only include a book once. So for example if the book is a historical romance, about religion and written by a woman I could only include it in one of those prompts.
