20 Books Of Summer 2026 Reading Challenge #20BOS26

The 20 Books of Summer 2026 Challenge is now hosted by Emma of Words and Peace and Anna of AnnaBookBel. The aim is to read and review either 10, 15, or 20 books. I’ll be reading the full 20 books this summer which will include audiobooks from a variety of sources. I participated in and completed this challenge the past few years and found it to be a lot of fun to see how everyone was progressing and what they were reading.

Here are the rules of the challenge:

• The #20BOS26 challenge runs from Monday June 1st to Monday August 31st
• The first rule of 20 Books is that there are no real rules, other than signing up for 10, 15 or 20 books and trying to read from your TBR. (If you think you’ll only manage 5, that’s fine too.)
• Pick your list in advance, or nominate a bookcase to read from, or pick just at whim from your TBR.
• If you do pick a list, you can change it at any time – swap books in/out.
• Don’t get panicked at not reaching your target, it’s not really a challenge as such.
• Just enjoy a summer of great reading and make a bit of space on your shelves! 
• Don’t forget to add your posts to the monthly linkys. The final one will stay open till for a week into September to catch the last reviews.

Here is my 20 Books of Summer 2026 Challenge reading list. This list is subject to change. All books will be audiobook format.

I will link my reviews to each book once the review is published.
