Do you like participating in reading challenges but never know which books to pick? Or are you just too lazy like me and want a list of recommendations served on a plate? You're in luck! Because I, the benevolent ruler of this corner of the internet, will post a series of "reading challenge cheat sheets" where I'll recommend books that fit a certain challenge prompt. ðŸ˜‚


Before I dive into my first challenge, I just want to mention that if you're participating in some sort of color-coded challenge and need recs for that, I've already got a blog post series for that so you can check it out HERE ðŸŒˆ

Now, for my first recommendation list, I've picked the KeyWord Reading Challenge (created by Kim and Tany over at Chapter Adventure)  which I absolutely LOVED doing this year, and I'm continuing with it in 2025! I'll give you 3 books for each prompt so you have more options ðŸ˜„

Since this is a pretty long list, I'll divide it into 2 parts. Hopefully, you find this useful ðŸ¥° If you have any more recs feel free to drop them in the comments!
