2025 Reading Challenge discussion

I'm not signing up because I just don't have time right now, but I want to say this is a very unique challenge! I LOVE IT, I hope to see it back next year, or maybe later on as a quarterly? So awesome!

I believe I am an INFP, and I will read Jane Eyre, since the main character shares my type. That is my 1 book for this challenge.

if anyone can recommend james patterson or daielle steel books bring them on

I am an INJF (The Advocate) and in for one book.

It looks like I match up with Sayuri - Memoirs of a Geisha. Bonus, it's also on my TBR challenge list!

Me too. I’m currently doing six challenges and that’s four too many. I hope to see this challenge come back later this year, then I’ll read The Devil Wears Prada (INFJ character).

Finished Great Gatsby now 3 more to go

Just completed my first book with a character matching my personality, Cat the Black Queen - The Eight by Katherine Neville. I love books that make me think and books that teach me something. It's even better when it's entertaining. This book accomplished all three! My only critique is that there were portions that were confusing and could have been edited a touch better. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

1/3

I'm INTP and I'm in for one book.

Warm Bodies - R

I am a INTJ and I am in for 2.
0/2

To read:
1. Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
2. Elinor in Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

I love Myers-Briggs, but every time I take the test I am one of two types: ENFJ or ENFP. I'll read one book with a character from each type and maybe I'll relate to one more than the other.

Thanks!

Hi Rachel!
I'm an INFJ - and I found on this website that Jane Eyre was also an INFJ: https://www.personalitymax.com/person...

I love that you're reading this too and I think we will have much to discuss to determine which we think she is!

Wow, I've only been gone a few days and I am so behind on updating this challenge!

Okay so, first things first: Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all had great holidays and have started the new year with a bang :)

Secondly, welcome to all newcomers to the challenge! I see we've got a variety of personalities and some great books to match. I hope you enjoy and I can't wait to read your opinions on the books you've chosen.

Also, I would like to congratulate Mie, Megan and Eden on already completing their first books for this challenge :)

I've just updated the list with everyone's progress thus far. Please let me know if I've overlooked anyone! Happy reading!

Narcissa Malfoy - Harry Potter ..."

Hey Annika and welcome to the challenge :)
You mention four books but I only see you've listed three? Do you have any idea what the last will be?
I hope you enjoy The Hound of the Baskervilles. It's easily one of my favorite Sherlock Holmes cases.

Meghan wrote: "Here's another decent list, that offers up some different ideas: https://www.purewow.com/books/myers-b..."

Thank you Meghan, for sharing yet another great list! Have you figured out what your second book will be, besides Anne of Green Gables?
Good luck with your challenge this month :)

Hi Pamela and Alisia, I'm thrilled that you both like the concept of the challenge and I wish you had the time to join us, but that's life. Can't have it all :)
I doubt the challenge will be back later in the year as there are always so many amazing challenge ideas. Optionally, you could perhaps have it as a personal challenge? That's what I try to do whenever a challenge that interests me doesn't fit my schedule. Just a thought!

Eric wrote: "if anyone can recommend james patterson or daielle steel books bring them on"

Hi Eric,
Unfortunately I can't recommend any books from those authors as they aren't in my repertoire. Hopefully some of the other members will have some suggestions :)

Are you interested in joining this month's challenge? And if so, how many books would you like to read? :)

I am late to this party, but gonna try it. I was INTJ last time I took it, im not going to pay to take it again even though I have had some personality changes...will update as I figure all this out. LOL
*EDIT* well i took the free version and WOW...what a difference 4 years makes. I am now ENTP...I would argue that point, but I think that would just prove it right... ROFLMAO
So the ENTP characters are:
Rocket Racoon:
Iron Man:
Deadpool:
So do I pick stories they may be in? or characters LIKE them? I guess I confuse easily...
I will read 1 book once I know what I am doing...just to get my feet wet.
I have read The Martian, so I like characters like this...any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm ENTP too. The characters I picked are Tyler Durden, Joker and a woman from a book I wanted to read for a while, as they're all supposed to be ENTP. I guess it is rather improbable to actually tell the personality type of a fictional character. We can assess their responses to certain things but it isn't like we observe them in day to day life, or something. It is fun though, so I'll go along with it.

Update msg 4: 3/3 - COMPLETE ✔️
✅ Dybet - 4⭐️

Update to message 32:

I am gonna add one more book to my list in "The Wizard of Oz."

Dorothy is an ESFJ :-)

I cannot fit this reading assignment into my current reading schedule but hope that it will ease enough for me to be part of this challenge in the future. Keep me informed please.

I updated message 47. I completed one of my two books

1/2 The Mysterious Affair at Styles

I finished The Hobbit and loved it! I could also relate to Bilbo.

I’m gonna try and read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Dorothy is an ESFJ

Just completed another book with ESTJ-A characters Jackson Shore and Edward Rhodes - Distant Shores by Kristin Hannah. An interesting, well-written book about a woman being brave enough to fight for her happiness. Good, complex characters and some nice twists along the way. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

I am also ISTJ and am going to try this book...its been on my TBR for awhile.

I'll try for 4. I'm usually back and forth between INTJ and ISTJ, so I'll do 2 from each.

2. Jane Eyre

I’m an ENFP and will read

I'm a mediator/healer (INFP)
We'll see if I get to any of these....
Relatable characters: Anne of Green Gables, Bill Weasley/Luna Lovegood, Ashely Wilkes, Frodo/Faramir/Gollum, Scout Finch, Jane Bennet, Colonel Brandon (Sense and Sensibilities), Daenarys Targarean, Tyrese (Walking Dead), Luke Skywalker, Bastian Bux (Neverending Story), Fox Mulder (X-Files)

I am INJF....going to look into possible books now.

I am an INFJ, and apparently so is Remus Lupin so I'm taking this as an excuse to re-read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which is one of my favorites anyway! :D

Hi Samantha, I'm assuming you're not going to read all those books. How many would you like to put you down for? Keep in mind you can change your goal later on in the month if you want :)
Good luck and happy reading!

Tania wrote: "I am INJF....going to look into possible books now."

Welcome to the challenge Tania! Let me know how many books you decide to read for this challenge when you find the ones that tickle your fancy :)

Congrats Mie, Sarah and vikki for meeting the goal you set for this challenge :) I hope you found some entertaining books and had fun!

I love seeing so much activity!
I've updated everyone's progress on the list, to the best of my abilities. I hope I haven't overlooked anything ,but please do let me know if I've missed something :)

Have a great weekend and happy reading!

I am so late to the challenge, but I am going to give it a shot anyways :)

I am an INFJ-T/Advocate personality type and I have either already read or am not interested in the books I kept seeing suggested elsewhere. But I did stumble across a site that offered suggestions for books that people of my personality type would enjoy, so I am going with that...assuming that falls under the rule for the challenge.
I am going for 2 books:
Daughter of Smoke & Bones, which is completely out of my wheelhouse and The Book Thief.

I'm finished!

1. Batman and Robin, Volume 2: Pearl by Peter J. Tomasi
2. Batman, Incorporated: The Deluxe Edition by Grant Morrison
3. Batman Incorporated, Volume 2: Gotham's Most Wanted by Grant Morrison
4. Batman and Robin, Volume 3: Death of the Family by Peter J. Tomasi
