Big Book Summer Challenge 2025
Book By Book
The idea behind this reading challenge is simple: Use the ease of summer to tackle a Big Book (400+ pages) or two or … however many you want! You set your own goals. And if it is the start of winter where you live, then it’s your Big Book Winter Challenge. Everyone is welcome to participate.
You can hear more about how it started and what I’ll be reading in my video, Big Book Summer Challenge 2025.
There are a few changes this summer, to make the challenge even easier to participate in. Plus, I am happy to announce my co-host of Big Book Summer 2025: Melinda at A Web of Stories. Besides having a YouTube channel (at the link), Melinda was a longtime book blogger … and a longtime virtual friend of mine! I’m thrilled to have her help this year, as participation in Big Book Summer continues to grow. You can see Melinda’s Big Book Summer kick-off video.
The Details:
Hey, it’s summer, so we’ll keep this low-key and easy!
- Anything 400 pages or more qualifies as a big book.
- The challenge runs from the Friday of Memorial Day weekend (May 23 this year) through Labor Day (September 1 this year).
- Choose one or two or however many big books you want as your goal. Wait, did you get that? You only need to read 1 book with 400+ pages this summer to participate! (though you are welcome to read more, if you want).
- No sign-ups are necessary! All readers are welcome to participate.
- If you are a blogger or YouTuber and want to share your Big Book Summer plans, book reviews, or wrap-ups, you can add your link(s) to the links list below so others can find you. If you post a YouTube video for Big Book Summer, please tag Melinda and I.
- Join the 2025 Big Book Summer Goodreads group to enjoy Big Book discussions all summer long! We always have a lively group with lots of fun book chat. Or if you prefer, join the Big Book Summer Storygraph group.
- For chatting on other social media platforms, use #BigBookSummer
That’s it! Go check out your shelves and your TBR list for chunksters and get started!
What kind of books “count”? All kinds! Middle-grade, YA, graphic novels, classics, all genres, all types–as long as they are at least 400 pages. Yes, e-books and audio books count, too–just check online for the number of pages in the print edition.
