We’re a couple weeks into the 2025 Read Harder Challenge, and I want to know: what’s your strategy? Do you do the tasks in order? If not, do you start with the easiest ones or the most difficult ones? Do you wait for the recommendation post/newsletter to come out for that task before you attempt it? Do you come up with a TBR for every task beforehand?
Last year, I was pretty haphazard about my approach. I ignored the tasks I knew I’d complete without trying (like reading manga) and started with whichever task caught my eye. I researched some tasks and tackled the others as they came. I was all over the place!
I’ve noticed, though, that many of you build your TBR at the beginning of the year, or at least the start of one. I think half the fun of a reading challenge can be researching and picking your books—at least, for a certain kind of reader.
