It Begins: The 2025 Winter Reading Challenge

Ah, gentle reader, apparently, I have left you in the dark.

I reviewed the Springfield-Greene County Library’s Bookends magazine for the winter, and I spotted a notice for the 2025 Winter Reading Challenge which included a list of the categories (but not the form itself). So I was able to start stacking up books that match the categories (or so I hoped), and on January 2, I picked up one of the forms at the library.

Here’s what it looks like blank:

I started with six books to jump on in my annual quest to read not only the minimum five books (to get the mug), but a book in each category.

Given that it’s January 4, of course I’ve already started to fill it out. Details, and twee reflections on the books, to come.
