Hey book lovers!
Welcome back to the blog! If you’re anything like me and you’re always looking for creative ways to keep your TBR fun I’ve got something super exciting for you today! Say hello to the “A-to-Z Reading Challenge“! It’s a perfect way to discover some new books. And guess what? I’m not just giving you the challenge, but I’m also offering you some FREE printables for your reading journal AND Instagram stories templates so you can share your journey with your bookstagram buddies.
Here’s the cool part: I know we all enjoy reading in our own way. Some of us are all about sharing every step of the journey on social media, while others prefer keeping a reading journal to ourselves. So, I made sure to cover both bases with these free downloads.
You can download the printable and templates right here (just keep scrolling). After you’ve grabbed them, let me know in the comments what other reading challenges you’d like to see. I’m always up for new ideas! And one more thing—if you’re looking for more awesome resources, check out my shop! It’s full of goodies for book lovers like you!

Happy reading!
Gabby.

A-to-Z Reading Challenge Printable
I’ve created a printable to help you with your A-to-Z Challenge with 2 spreads to put the covers of the books based on the letter they match with! Also, I made two different Instagram story templates so you can pick the one that goes best with your account aesthetic.
Once you’ve completed the challenge, reflect on the journey. Which letters were easiest or hardest? What new genres or authors did you discover? Record your thoughts in your reading journal. That’s it! Enjoy your reading challenge, and happy reading! If you need additional templates or inspiration, don’t forget to check the blog for more resources.
How to use the printable:
- Choose your printable, download the image on the button below, and save it on your device.
- Open the image and print it on standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper. Note: All printables are US Letter size files. Use high-quality paper for better durability, especially if you’re using it in a reading journal.
- The goal is to read a book for each letter of the alphabet. Print the cover of the books you read and add it to your printable.
Little note:
I always wanted to open my own store. However, I didn’t want to add useless things that would just pollute the earth; instead, I try to create products that help you achieve your goals and enjoy your life with the least carbon footprint possible. That’s why I actively encourage you to use the products on my website in their digital format (or make sure you print on both sides of the paper)!

How to use the template:
- Choose which Instagram story template for the A-to-Z Reading Challenge you are going to pick and download it to your device. Make sure it’s saved in a location you can easily access, like your photo gallery or downloads folder.
- Open your Instagram app and swipe right from the home screen to enter Instagram Stories. You can also tap on your profile picture or the “+” icon to create a new story.
- Select the “Add Media” icon (usually represented by a square with a small mountain) to open your photo gallery. Find and select the Instagram story template you downloaded earlier. This will add it to your Instagram story editor.
- Use Instagram’s built-in tools to customize the template by adding the covers of each book.
