as always, the 2025 rad reading challenge has nine prompts to help you stretch your reading boundaries a bit while still being accessible.

this is one of my most favorite things to create and share with you, year after year. (this is year number seven!!!) i love having goals, and having a nudge to read different kinds of books than i might naturally gravitate to. i’m personally setting an additional goal to fulfill every prompt with a book by a marginalized author, because as you know, it matters a lot to me to put my money and my support behind the kinds of creators and the kinds of works i want to see more of in the world. feel free to join me in that effort!

i will also be sharing recommendations for all of these categories throughout 2025 on my substack — be sure you’re subscribed!
