2025 Book Reading Challenge

I’ve always adored reading and over the past couple years have made a goal to read more. This past year I set out to read 25 books and blew past that with 70! While I know that probably isn’t possible every year, I try to carve out time each week to sit down and read. Being intentional with my time, putting more hours into the pages of a book instead of mindless scrolling on social media. One way I’m pushing myself to do more of that this next year, is by creating a 2025 Book Reading Challenge by making bingo cards for friends and family to use.

What I love about using a bingo card for a reading challenge, is that everyone can be involved in the fun.

Some of your group may read hundreds of books a year.

Some may struggle to get through ten.

This bingo card allows a reader who only gets through four or five books a year, the opportunity to play (and win) with just a little bit of planning.

I’ve seen other challenges online or Instagram, like the very popular A to Z Reading Challenge. This template guides a reader through the alphabet based on the book’s title. An example- Rebecca Yarros (one of my favorite authors) Fourth Wing could be used for the letter F.

For these bingo cards it’s simple.

Guidelines

• A book can only fill in one box per card
• Add titles or pictures of the book cover to track and mark each box

Next, gather your friends, family, or book club members. Have everyone pick their favorite card, and see who gets a BINGO first!

A PDF version of each of the five BINGO cards is in the list below. Print off your favorite(s) and get ready to meet those reading goals in 2025.
