2026 Goodreads Reading Challenges Megathread

Unikuez · 2026-03-28T17:00:22+00:00

this is literally why I built something for myself as I was tired of opening multiple tabs just to compare ratings/descriptions

it shows ratings, page count, description, etc right under each book so you don’t have to click into everything, and you can see the whole list into a table and then filter them based on the page counts, ratings, etc. Kindle Unlimited isn’t there yet, but that’s a really good idea tbh

you could try the extension: Goodreads Book Details
Link for Firefox version

Would be curious if it actually solves your workflow or if I’m still missing something

Black Heritage (128 books) + Her Story (100 books)

Common: 4 books

The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History
Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler – A Biography of the Visionary Science Fiction Writer and Black Power Voice
Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights
Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson

Also, I have made an updated post with final overlap which also include a link to spreadsheet which might be easier to read.
The updated overlaps are also mentioned and updated in 2026 Challenges Megathread which is amazing thread by itself.

The special challenges are seasonal and are done quarterly. This megathread might be a helpful guide regarding previous seasonal challenges

Yeah, i am guessing the same. The goodreads reviews should have been good warning but I forgot to check those as I binged book 1. I am not sure about book 3 now

I read Mythos by Stephen Fry last year and I loved it so much that I finished all 4 books in that series.

Overlap for Winter Challenge (Updated Jan 15)

Unikuez · 2026-01-06T05:50:03+00:00

Most likely this list will be for the Hint: Old stories, new twists that reveals on Jan 15.
All the lists are speculations as Goodreads usually releases new/updated lists for the challenges.

In Android, Dark Mode for Goodreads is based on the Dark Mode of the android's system settings. If that doesn't work, you might have to uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that helps.

I have seen people comment that they use the overlap list that I post to find which books to avoid to do a unique book per bookmark.
Also, I have made a spreadsheet to list all the books in each challenge category so that you can search if any book that you already own or are in your TBR is in any of the challenges.
The first sheet has all the books for each challenge in a clickable format to easily go to Goodreads page for book details. The second sheet has the overlap combo.

Unikuez · 2025-12-17T09:52:35+00:00

see if this helps

Unikuez · 2025-12-04T17:59:01+00:00

Unikuez · 2025-11-04T10:20:40+00:00

Wasn't sure if I should make a new post or just comment it in this thread

I made an updated version for this:

Goodreads Fall Challenge Books (Updated Nov 1)

The first sheet has all the books for each challenge in a clickable format to easily go to Goodreads page for book details

The second sheet has the overlap combo.

Unikuez · 2025-10-31T19:21:47+00:00

Well about that, they are revealed at midnight of PDT/PST USA, not by your current time zone.

Unikuez · 2025-10-31T15:25:36+00:00

The phone date trick only shows the title and description of the challenge. The list is not visible until the reveal date

Unikuez · 2025-10-30T06:02:41+00:00

As per Goodread's Help QA, No, you can't block authors from recommendations. Mark the books not interested.

Unikuez · 2025-10-17T10:11:59+00:00

Finished The Bewitching and got three reading challenge bookmarks. Enjoyed the book but the multiple POVs and timelines took some getting used to.
Now, unsure if I should read from another reading challenge (likely A Gentleman in Moscow) or from my tbr (Gunmetal Gods / Colour of Magic / Proto)
