Hey there, book lovers!
I’m excited to share something special with you today: a new monthly reading challenge! Introducing the August Reading Challenge (ready for you to print and use)!
This year, I started a new series of monthly reading challenges! I thought about this idea because a lot of us made the new year resolution of reading more or reaching a certain number of books in 2025, and now that we are halfway through 2025, I feel like I’m going through a second wave of inspiration about making my goals my reality.
So the rules of this challenge are simple: read 10 pages a day, every day, for a month. And that’s it! You can decide what type of books you feel like reading this month! From Self-help to fluffy romances, the point is that it is a book that is either teaching you something new or is making your day better by reading about characters you care about.
I made 2 different printables for this challenge:
- The monthly “checklist” printable is basically so you can have a piece of paper to mark that you read your 10 daily pages every day. (I love checking boxes and scratching things off to-do lists, so hopefully having a printable version of the challenge will give you some dopamine every time you get to check off the day)
- The monthly reads list printable: for books you read during that month’s challenge. Pretty self-explanatory (lol). I love being able to watch back on my monthly reads! (btw, I also have digital templates to share your monthly reads on social media, you can download them for free here.)
You can always use them digitally, but you can also add them to your reading journal or to have a physical list to check off every day (I find it very rewarding to have a paper to mark every time I accomplish something). Make sure to check out my “August reads” templates to share on your social media so you can keep yourself and your friends accountable. Read every day and conquer the challenge!
Download this challenge and let’s get reading! You can find my other printables on my Printable page or click here. And hey, I’d love to hear from you. What other reading challenges would you like me to create? Drop your suggestions in the comments below.

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)!
I hope you love this reading challenge! Let me know in the comments below what you want to see next!
