2025 Buzzword Title Reading Challenge

Happy Friday, friends! I’ve got a whole backlog of book posts that I’ve meant to get out sooner but haven’t got around to doing so expect several challenge-related blog posts in the upcoming blogging schedule!

First up is the ✨ Buzzword Reading Challenge! ✨ This year, to celebrate the 5th year of this challenge, Kayla @BooksandLala has given us two Buzzword Challenges! 👀 I’m sticking with the classic title/word challenge but if you love to read based on covers, you can check out her video below where she goes into more detail about it! What I love about this challenge is that there are very few rules and you can read when you want and how you want. As a mood reader, that flexibility is *chef’s kiss* amazing!

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [265]

We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.

I’m reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January with Leslie and Julie. It’s my first buddy read of the year, and I’ve had this book on my TBR for ages, so I’m glad to finally be reading it. I’ve gone for the full immersive read this time with the ebook and audio, and I love how Harrow brings memories and images to life through the sense of smell! The only thing is these chapters are SUPER long! 🤣

Let’s Talk Bookish: First read(s) of the Year!

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @Book Nook Bits where we get to discuss certain topics, share our opinions, and spread the love by visiting each other’s posts! Check out January’s and all the past topics if you want to join the bookish discussion fun.

Today’s topic is actually:

But since I’ve already done the bookish part of my year-end survey where I go into all of bookish things in great detail, I thought I would go back to last week’s topic that I missed:

Prompts: What is/was your first read of 2025? Was it a deliberate selection? Or did you just pick up the nearest book? Do you typically make sure to finish all your current reads by the 31st? Do you mind if some of your reads spill over into the New Year? Are you particular about when you read certain books, or do you read whatever, whenever?
