For Reading Addicts Reading Challenge 2026

By December 9, 2025Cwts Club Reading Challenge

Hello to 2026 and to all you wonderful Reading Addicts. Where did 2025 go? Thank you to everyone once again for all your support during 2025. It has been great to see so many of you join in and share all your reads.

We ran our usual quick poll in the Book Club group for ideas for 2026, where quite a few of our members liked the idea of using Natural Elements as our monthly prompts. As usual, we will also be doing an A-Z challenge based on the title to make the group more inclusive.

To make it a bit easier to plan again this year (we know how some of you like to plan the year and/or read ahead) we’re going to list below the category and letters for each month.

January

A book about Earth or with Earth in the title.
For A-Z, the letters are titles starting with A Y and Z

February

A book about Water or with Water in the title.
A-Z letters are B, C, and X.

A-Z letters are book titles starting with D and W.
