📚 The 2025 Reshelving Alexandria Reading Challenges Are Here! 🎉
Part 1: A How-to Guide
It's time to kick off our most-anticipated event of the year—the Reshelving Alexandria Reading Challenges! 🎉🎉🎉
This year’s theme is Family, and we’ve created five unique full challenges to inspire readers of all ages and a smaller bonus:
✨ 12 Books
✨ 52 Books
✨ Family Read-Alouds
✨ Teens
✨ Children’s
We’re also introducing a special bonus: Five Substitute/Extra Categories—perfect for readers who feel stumped by a category, prefer a different spin, or want to keep the momentum going after finishing early!
Here’s what’s new this year:
All the printables and challenges will be hosted exclusively on our website. This introduction article will have landed in many of you emails with sneak peeks of the challenges (but not the printables themselves—those are website exclusives and linked below!).
We’re excited to spotlight Renewed Books, our publishing arm! Both of our current titles fit this year’s categories, and 2025 is packed with exciting new releases, starting with Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen on January 1st! Click through for our cover review!
How the Challenges Work:
For each challenge, we’ll post all the individual categories in the Reshelving Alexandria Facebook group over the next few weeks, so you can share and discover book recommendations that fit the criteria. If you’re looking for more casual, fun reads, throughout the year hop over to our RA Reads subgroup for a lighter take on the year’s reading adventures.
Bonus for Monthly Supporters:
If you’re a monthly supporter at any level (including a $1/month through our tip jar!), you’ll have access to these and more:
👉 Bi-Monthly Check-Ins: Join us to chat about what you’ve read, share favorites, and find encouragement to keep going.
👉 Editable Spreadsheets: Keep track of your progress in style with personalized challenge spreadsheets!
Let’s make 2025 a year of incredible stories, memorable discussions, and shared love for books. Ready to dive in? Head to our website to see all the full challenges and get printing and filling in those slots! Click the button and let’s get reading!
