I have not been the most faithful at my challenges over the years. Mostly because I forget what I've agreed to. So this page will hopefully keep me on track a little better. Also, when I'm looking for new things to participate in I love bloggers who list their challenges and how they participate to give me ideas.
So far the ones that appeal to me most have centered around historical mysteries and historical fiction. I don't have much to show for 2025, only two I really stayed with, but I'm going to list what I can and start a new page in 2026, because it's so much fun to have New Years goals!
Historical Fiction Reading Challenge 2025
This is the one challenge I have faithfully participated in for several years. It is simple and just requires me to read books I already love and link my review to the host page. I also love that each month Marg gives us updated stats on everything from which books were read and reviewed by multiple people and how many total reviews and such were entered. It is a lot of fun! Here are my books by month with my review linked.

GoodReads Challenge 2025
Read Christie 2025
I try hard to keep up with the monthly book in this challenge. When I started I hadn't read anything by her and now some of the months I've already read the choice! I am always surprised by how quickly I've logged my Christie hours. It's also nice that they suggeest alternative matching themed stories if you've read their selection. I usually just skip it and read another author that month. So far in 2025 I've missed a lot due to time, already read it, or just wasn't interested. And sometimes I just can't get the book without buying it. I have reviewed the ones listed below so far. There are three left....I will see what I get by December!
