The TBR Scavenger Hunt Reading Challenge 2025

The TBR Scavenger Hunt is a reading challenge I created to help us clear our TBRs. The challenge includes 24 prompts that are specific enough to be a bit of a challenge (it is a reading challenge, after all) but simple enough that you should be able to find books that fit the prompts from your TBR pretty easily.

Here are the prompts:

  • An author’s debut

  • Features a snowstorm

  • Has a red or pink cover

  • A book with found family

  • A translated novel

  • From your favorite genre

  • Been on your TBR longest

  • Is known for a plot twist

  • Has culinary themes

  • A new release

  • Takes place in a big city

  • Over 300 pages

  • Takes place on vacation

  • Has water on the cover

  • Has a three-word title

  • Longest book on your TBR

  • Takes place in the fall

  • A banned book

  • A horror or a thriller

  • Author you’ve read before

  • By a local author

  • Has a family theme

  • Has candles on the cover

  • Set in winter

I also made some templates you can use to track your reading:

I can’t wait to see what you read for this challenge!
