Reader Challenge
One of my favorite parts of a reading challenge is tracking it as I go. Whether you want something simple, visual, or a little extra bookish, these Canva templates can help you organize your reading and see your progress at a glance.
Goodreads Challenge Templates
Use these templates to track your Goodreads Challenge from 2013 through the current year. A simple way to look back on past reading and keep up with your current progress.
General Challenge Templates
This template set includes trackers for a wide range of reading challenges, along with a few fun formats for planning and visual tracking. Copy the full set, then keep only the pages you want to use for your year of reading.

It will be hard to stop once you start reading or listening to books. Sometimes, you want to take on new challenges to get out of your comfort zone. How do you find them? They are all over the internet, but I found this handy list by The Candid Cover that lists many.
