Are you looking for a reading challenge for spring? Look no further! I’ve got a few reading challenges already but I would like to cover the seasons, enter, this spring reading challenge.
I included eight prompts with five book suggestions for each, but of course you’re welcome to choose anything. I tried to include a variety of genres but I would say it’s primarily romance, horror, and thrillers, with a few YA books throughout. And of course Japanese fiction, as that’s it’s own prompt.
This isn’t an official challenge or anything, there’s nothing to join, it’s just something fun to participate in on your own. I added an Instagram story template below and would love to see your progress if you decide to do it!
So, here it is, my spring reading challenge! I would love to hear any other suggestions you may have for other books for the prompts if you have any.
- Pango is my go-to for finding secondhand books affordably, sold by other readers! If you’re a new user, you can use HEYIMREADING at checkout for $5 off your first $10 purchase! Check out Pango Books here!
- Thrift Books is one of the places I check when I’m looking for a book and want it cheap. It’s great if you like buying used books. With this you can get a free book after spending $30!
- If you want to listen to some of these, consider trying Audible! You can get your first month free (one free book) plus tons of others they have for free. Get that Audible deal here.
- If you want to read more on your Kindle but don’t want to buy books, Kindle Unlimited is a good option. If you read a lot and like to read more than just new releases (especially romance), it could be worth it. Get Kindle Unlimited here!
- Shop my collection of bookish goodies on Etsy! These aren’t my shop items, but other shops I’ve curated into a book-themed collection. Shop my Etsy bookish goodies here!
- Shop my book lists here! You can find every book list I have on Bookshop.org (except my monthly round-ups) and I add everything I can but they occasionally won’t have some. I do occasionally add extras though. If any lists are empty, they’ll be filled in shortly! Shop my bookshop.org book lists here.
