reading challenge

Literary completion target

A reading challenge is a structured goal to read a certain number of books or specific types of books within a set timeframe, typically a year.

Challenges may specify genres, authors, or themes: I'm doing a reading challenge to read 52 books this year, The challenge required one book from every continent.

Libraries, social media groups, and apps like Goodreads popularize them as motivation for readers.
