 The Book Seekers Reading Challenge 2025 Welcome to The Book Seekers' sixth annual reading challenge! For 2025, we're going back to our roots. Twelve months, twelve prompts, twelve books.
The theme this year is Spells and Potions.
There are twelve prompts in this challenge, but you do not need to complete all of them to "win". For taking part in this reading challenge - regardless of how many prompts you complete - you will be given an accolade on your SnitchSeeker profile. There are additional prizes for those who manage to complete more, however, and for those who complete all prompts
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
- Post in THIS thread: "I solemnly swear that I am up for this challenge!
 " - That same post will become your reading log for the challenge.
- Record which prompts you have completed and the books (title and author) you read for them by editing them into your post.
- Please make sure it's clear whether the prompt is COMPLETED or IN PROGRESS.
- Have fun!
GUIDELINES & OTHER INFORMATION:
- You MUST read a different book for each prompt. We encourage you to read books that you haven't read before, too, but this isn't a hard and fast rule. At least one prompt will encourage re-reads.
- You can sign up for the challenge at any point during the year. Any books that you have read during 2025 can count towards this challenge.
- This is NOT a discussion thread. The Book Nook is, though, and these are some of the things we encourage you to post about there:
- Discussion relating to TBS Reading Challenge
- Sharing and asking for book recommendations for the prompts
Now, onto the prompts... *drumroll*
THE PROMPTS Quote: - Accio: a book published in the last five years
- Babbling Beverage: a book with a title five words or longer
- Daydream Charm: a book that takes place somewhere you'd want to visit (fantasy world, real world location, time period, etc)
- Expecto Patronum: a book you think will make you happy, or an old favourite
- Felix Felicis: a book with a protagonist whose name begins with L, U, C, or K
- Homenum Revelio: a book recommended by a SnitchSeeker member
- Legilimens: a story told through multiple points of view
- Lumos: a debut novel or debut poetry collection
- Nox: a book with a dark cover
- Polyjuice Potion: a book with a face on the cover
- Veritaserum: a book about a secret that must be kept or uncovered
- Wingardium Leviosa: a book about a bird, or with a bird on the cover
As always, several of these prompts are up to interpretation. If you believe a book fits a prompt and you can rationalise it to yourself, then it counts. If you have any queries, send a private message to Felixir or Lissy Longbottom.
Happy reading!   | |
