September 2025 Mini-Challenge

September 2025 Mini-Challenge

For this month’s mini-challenge, we’ve only got one prompt… but rest assured, it’s a BIG one. So, grab a book and come smash your 2025 record with us!

I’m new here! What are mini-challenges?

Mini-challenges are smaller month-long reading challenges, usually comprised of three prompts built around a specific theme. Mini-challenges are released sporadically throughout the year, and not every month has one. Match one book to each of the prompts and have fun reading!

How does this September mini-challenge work?

For this month’s mini, we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of two or three prompts, we’re just doing one really big prompt. Our September challenge is to find the biggest book you’ve read so far in 2025, and then beat it!

This may be:

• Highest page count
• Longest audiobook
• Physically the largest
• Etc.

This challenge will look different for each of us, depending on the size of books we’ve already finished in 2025, and depending on our reading goals for this month. Feel free to get creative, and as always, have fun!

Mini-challenge tips:

1) Do I have to complete this challenge in September?
Nope! Feel free to complete this mini-challenge whenever you like. Some members prefer to focus on finishing the main 2025 challenge first, and then go back to complete all the minis afterward. Others enjoy the added challenge of completing mini-challenges in the month they’re released. Do whatever works for you!

2) Is this a part of the main 52 books in 52 weeks challenge?
Yes and no. Mini-challenges are related to our 52 books in 52 weeks challenge but are also completely optional. Some members may decide to complete the full challenge and all the minis. Other members may choose to skip mini-challenges or to complete some of the minis but not all of them. Some challenge participants might only be joining in for the minis. It’s up to you how (or if) you’d like to participate.

3) Can I use the same books as my 52 book challenge?
It all depends on your personal reading goals! You can choose to read these books in addition to your regular 52 Book Club reads (this mini-challenge makes 64 prompts for 2025), or you can double up and combine them with prompts still left on your 2025 list. Your challenge, your rules!
