The official 52 Book Club reading challenge of 2024. Copied from their website. https://www.the52book.club/2025-reading-challenge/
I have added the books that I know meet these prompts but if you have any trouble thinking of a book or have any questions I strongly suggest visiting their challenge guide. And remember just have fun.

The 52 Book Club’s annual reading challenge is made up of 52 unique reading prompts. The goal is to match one book to each prompt, for a total of fifty-two books over the year.
Prompts are related to everything from specific words in the title, to cover design, authors, genres, settings, themes, characters, etc. (Think of it like a giant bookish scavenger hunt!) We encourage participants to try books outside of their regular reading comfort zones and push themselves to read more, read differently, and get creative with it!
Commonly Asked Questions:
- Do I have to complete the challenge in order? Not at all. Working through the list in order will make the challenge more difficult. Some members choose to work through the prompts in order as a fun add-on to increase difficulty, others like to bounce around. Do what works best for you!
-
Can I read (specific book or format of reading) for this challenge? Yes! All reading is reading. Any book that fits the prompts works for this challenge. Each of our prompts can be completed using any format of reading (physical copies, e-books, audiobooks, live readings from the author, children’s board books, graphic novels, etc!) There is no required length or format of reading. Interpret the prompts as creatively as you like!
As we like to say, “If you think a book fits the prompts, it does!” - What if I can’t read all 52 books? That’s okay! Join anyway and complete as many as you can, or cross off multiple prompts with the same book. This is a self-led, pressure-free challenge! It’s not a competition. Read at your own pace and have fun!
- I read more than 52 books a year. Is that okay? Of course! Sign up for e-mails and keep an eye out for the bonus mini-challenges we release throughout the year. For our most prolific readers, we also have some suggestions for increasing the difficulty of your 2025 challenge!
- Help! I don’t understand this prompt… We’ve got you covered. Head over to our 2025 challenge guide and we’ll walk you through each and every prompt in detail.
- When does the challenge start? The challenge officially begins January 1, 2025! Any books read in 2025 count toward this challenge.
I recommend checking out their site and socials, they have lots of cool print outs and graphics to look at and help you keep track. Happy reading.
