2026 Reading by the Numbers: My Sign-Up

 


The Reading by the Numbers Challenge is the reading challenge at its most basic--just track everything you read. Anything counts--graphic novels or comic books, hard copy, e-books, audio novels, etc. If it is a book, it counts. And although the covers shown in the challenge image are all mysteries, you may read from any and all genres that interest you. Just set a goal and when January 1 comes around, start reading.

For the last two years, I've set my goal at 150, but in 2025 life went off the rails and there's no way I'm making 150. So, I'm dialing it back and setting my goal at 100. Hopefully, I'll rack up more than that. But with 100 I can claim the challenge complete.

1. Don Among the Dead Men by C. E. Vulliamy (1/7/26)
2. Death on the Slopes by Norma Schier (1/9/26)
3. The Division Bell Mystery by Ellen Wilkinson (1/12/26)
4. Shadows Before by Dorothy Bowers (1/18/26)
5. Old Bones by Herman Petersen (1/20/26)
