52 Great Books to Read

52 Great Books to Read: From the New York Public Library | Lynn Gordon

Excited for another year, just because of the dropping of new challenges. Anyone in for #the52Bookclub2026?

LeeRHarry I might cross reference my owned TBR and the list and see if I can match some of the prompts. 😊 6d

KT1432 Nice!! I‘ll definitely try! I like these better than Pop Sugar prompts in recent years lol. I‘ve been looking for an alternative. 6d

BarbaraBB @KT1432 I like these better too but I‘ll try Pop Sugar as well. I am a bit addicted to those challenges 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6d

BarbaraBB @LeeRHarry That‘s always fun to do! 6d

BennettBookworm WOW thank you for sharing!! I‘m so in love w these prompts and you‘ve inspired me to do the challenge!! They‘re so clever and fun! Had to google numbers 2, 13, and 47- ya learn a new thing every day 😄 https://mymodernmet.com/librairie-mollat-book-face-challenge/ 5d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I like the challenges, but I also feel like I've been reading things I just didn't want to read and leaving the books that I was excited about sitting on my shelves. I'll make a tracker & see what I can fill in. @KT1432 I'll try PopSugar the same way, but I've found a bulk of their prompts too specific or uninspired the last few years. I believe the person running them left & instead of not making a challenge, new folks are hosting it. 5d

KT1432 Ah, that makes sense! I just can‘t really do the ultra specific prompts anymore. The year-long challenge is fun though and kept me hunting for my next read, but similar to you I want to read books I already have or that I‘m excited about and it got harder and harder to fit them into those prompts. @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 5d

BarbaraBB @BennettBookworm 💝 4d

BarbaraBB @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @KT1432 I agree with you both, PopSugar always has some prompts that are way too specific for me. But i use both challenges to read from my shelves, so they just help me to clean them up 😇 4d

KT1432 Love it! 😊 I actually just saw they released their list early this year. I‘m still probably going to try some lol. 4d

Larkken I failed sooo hard at all challenges this year, but I love the structure of trying and will likely happily set this up again for next year!! 4d

So I absolutely destroyed my reading challenge this year hitting 2x my goal!

Not the most I‘ve ever read but a respectable amount. Going to see how much I can get through this week and increase that number.

Ruthiella That‘s a book a week! 👏👏👏 11mo

Hooked_on_books Nice job! 🥳 11mo

Kitta @Ruthiella yes! Very happy with this result given I was aiming for one every two weeks haha. Will have to set a higher goal next year. 11mo

Kitta @Hooked_on_books thanks!! 11mo

A new year means the start of #52bookclub24!
Tagged is everyone who I know of will be doing the #ReadingChallenge. The idea is to tag each other when you finish a prompt and use the hashtag above. This way we can share ideas, be inspired and broaden our horizons!

Let us know when you want to be added to or removed from the taglist!

BarkingMadRead Can‘t wait!! I love this challenge! 2y

BarbaraBB @Tove_Reads @julesG @MidnightBookGirl @Librarybelle @Read4life @KarenUK @eeclayton @Larkken @BarkingMadRead I just found the challenge on Storygraph too.

Kristy_K Just added it to my StoryGraph to track there. Thanks! 2y

kwmg40 Can I join? This challenge looks fun! 2y

BarbaraBB Of course you can! I‘ll update the taglist 🩷 2y

kwmg40 Thank you! 2y

Book_Lover95 Just finished my first prompt. Number 25, an author that “everyone” has read. I finished my first book by Colleen Hoover. IT ENDS WITH US was such an emotional read. Sadly I related to the storyline so much. But I am so thankful to not have turned into another statistic. I‘m incredibly proud of myself for getting out❤️ 2y

BarbaraBB @Book_Lover95 That is brave and you can be so proud indeed! On your review you can mention the hashtag #52bookclub24, the prompt (a book everyone has read) and tag the people I tagged above. So everyone knows who read what for which prompt! 2y

BarbaraBB Hi @Graciouswarriorprincess see above our taglist! Added you 💕 2y

Graciouswarriorlibrarian @BarbaraBB Thank you! 😊 2y

Book_Lover95 I‘m sorry if this seems like an obvious prompt, but does buddy read simply mean you and a buddy read/ discuss the book together? 2y

BarbaraBB @Book_Lover95 Yes I think so but feel free to interpret each prompt as you seem fit! 2y

slategreyskies I‘d love to be added to the tag list for this challenge! I know I‘m late getting started, but I‘m going to screenshot this list and get to it. :) 2y

BarbaraBB @slategreyskies You‘re very welcome of course! 2y

Crazeedi @BarbaraBB thank you, I'll look for it on storygraph 2y

I finished #52bookclub23 with these books for each prompt. Most of them I liked, some of them I just read to get rid of the prompt but in general it‘s been fun again and I enjoyed sharing suggestions with you and be inspired by your reviews. Here‘s to #52bookclub24!
