We’re almost to the end of the 2025 Read Harder Challenge! In fact, it’s only seven more days until the 2026 Read Harder Challenge is announced. Scroll down to the end of this post to get a sneak peek at what’s to come!
But before we say goodbye to this year, I want to know: what’s your favorite book you discovered while doing the 2025 Read Harder Challenge? I’ve put together a survey to get your responses, and I’ll be sharing the answers later this month so that we can all add to our TBRs.
I can’t wait to sort through the responses and add a whole lot of books to my TBR! I’ll close the survey to responses in one week (the end of the day December 8th), and then I’ll crunch all that data and share my findings with you in two weeks.
