Ok, but your mind 😍 This systemic, thematic, but still “room to mood read” approach is so smart and unique! If I have any critiques, it’s that it’s the opposite of a catastrophe as presently envisioned! I have no doubt that you’re going to crush your goals in 2025. I’ve been doing a bad job of keeping up with my TBR, mostly because abrupt moves have left me with most of my books in storage inaccessible to me, but I think with a plan this thorough, I could find a way to get my TBR list down with a judicious use of Libby/planning around hold times, and that may be the ticket. Thank you as always for the undo, Olivia ♥️
The room to mood read really needed to be there as someone who cannot deal with TBRs 😅 I am in awe of all you TBR readers 😃 Moving will do that, so that’s completely understandable. Hopefully a library will help and as you settle into your new place maybe some books can come along with 💕
I really need to do something similar this year! Your system sounds like so much fun, I love the idea of having different themes and stages each month. I hope we both manage to reduce (and enjoy!) our TBRs in 2025 x
I love this in all the ways - sing links, plans for each month! I am especially excited about sequels in June! 3:37 - March plan i relate to so hard. I have so many...intrigued to see how many I have. I call them my "perfect reading moment books" I heard Leanne refer to them as rainy day books. I want a reading retreat - a booktube escape to a cabin in the woods where we can bring books that need quality reading time! What an exciting challenge - I'm now watching it again, as I had a listen whilst on school run. Now enjoying the visuals 💜📚😂
@OliviasCatastrophe I hope March brings delightful sunshine so you can get a blanket, pack your books into a trundle trolly (Matilda style) and wheel them to a park and spend reading days in the best way💜📚 excited forbtue 2025 content comingnour way!
This is such a fun idea! I’m also going to be spending 2025 focusing on my physical TBR - I made a TBR jar with all my unread books and hope to pick 3-5 each month to get to.
Great plan Olivia. I need to pay some attention to my TBR too for sure! Glad you’ve given yourself a month at the end of the year to mood read. That’s what I’ve done this December and I’m loving having a free pass to read whatever I fancy.
I love this challenge and how you picked a theme each month! I'm also doing a tbr reduction project that I started this year but decided to put on hold until next year called Read it or Reap. I will definitely come back to yours for inspiration through the year too!
I love how you are doing this. I might switch Jan & Feb round as for some reason I always love a big book in Jan. I will try and join in as much as possible. You are the challenge QWWWWWEEEEN so you got this💪
Im not sure why i've stopped watching booktube but still subscribe to do many. This sounds like something id love to join though! I want to read what i have and trying to overall declutter my life and everything. So this feels like a great help!
Balancing the books mention - that's nostalgic :- ) Okay I'm hyped for the series, I love how you're approaching it from all the angles. And the themed music snippets? Perfection :- D
These sound so fun! I tend to not read the books I think I’m going to love and read the ones I’m less excited about first. I don’t know why!! But that’s going to change next year. I need new favorite books!
YES! Im looking forward to this!! I am taking this year to tackle my TBR too :) I think I am going to try and do a monthly check in but ive not been really motivated to make videos! I love the music too :) Such a fab idea to split it into challenges and I do the same with 5 star predictions!
We have got this 💪🏾 our TBRs will be tackled!! It can be tricky when not motivated but be kind to yourself - tackling the TBR whether on film or not is more than enough 🙂
Love the musical inspiration for each month, and love the idea of this challenge! I'll definitely be joining in with the graphic novel/manga month because my TBR for both of those is huge 😂 Good luck with the whole challenge!
My physical TBR is usually less than 50, so I really only worry about it in terms of trying to be better about not letting books linger for years unread. I do have some re-reads planned for next year (mostly of books that I last read 15-25 years ago), but I'm also trying to put a lot of thought into the books that I decide to purchase next year.
I need to keep up with putting thought into what I acquire as well! And it’s good to get to the oldest books when you can so they do actually get read ✨
Good luck! Can't wait to see how your challenge goes. :) I have about 430 unread physical books and will see how my reading next year goes. I might join in on some month with you.
I love these challenges. I think for series, I want to make it through some series to either keep or get rid of. I think everything on my tbr is BIG book 😅 but i need my tbr down at least 60% read. I think one month is do my Backlist author to read her book or at least some of her book. Im still debating if I want to restart the twisted tales disney series

I'm living for the theme here! Best of luck with your challenge, I can't wait to see you absolutely boss it this year! 💙

Love the way you are doing this it’s so much fun 🎉🎉🎉 I plan to do re reads next year to help me sort through my read books
I hope you enjoy rereading some favourites ☺️
Love the theming! It sounds like that will keep the challenge fun and fresh for you each month.
Hopefully! I didn’t want it to feel too samey 🥰
I really need to do something similar this year! Your system sounds like so much fun, I love the idea of having different themes and stages each month. I hope we both manage to reduce (and enjoy!) our TBRs in 2025 x
And enjoy is an important part 😌 I hope you do in 2025 too 😋
I love this in all the ways - sing links, plans for each month! I am especially excited about sequels in June!
3:37 - March plan i relate to so hard. I have so many...intrigued to see how many I have. I call them my "perfect reading moment books" I heard Leanne refer to them as rainy day books.
I want a reading retreat - a booktube escape to a cabin in the woods where we can bring books that need quality reading time!
What an exciting challenge
- I'm now watching it again, as I had a listen whilst on school run. Now enjoying the visuals 💜📚😂
Perfect reading moments and rainy day books make a lot of sense! We just happen to store them up 😅 a reading retreat would be dreamy 🤩
@OliviasCatastrophe I hope March brings delightful sunshine so you can get a blanket, pack your books into a trundle trolly (Matilda style) and wheel them to a park and spend reading days in the best way💜📚 excited forbtue 2025 content comingnour way!
love how you planned each month! and the music moments are top tier haha ❤
Hehehe thank you 🎶
This is such a fun idea! I’m also going to be spending 2025 focusing on my physical TBR - I made a TBR jar with all my unread books and hope to pick 3-5 each month to get to.
Ooh love a TBR jar idea! I hope it helps you narrow it down somewhat 💪🏾
The music moments were iconic! Good luck with your challenge!
Thank you 😙
Great plan Olivia. I need to pay some attention to my TBR too for sure! Glad you’ve given yourself a month at the end of the year to mood read. That’s what I’ve done this December and I’m loving having a free pass to read whatever I fancy.
Mood reading is so fun and it’s admittedly how I function 100% of the time, so the themed months will be its own challenge too 😄
I love this challenge and how you picked a theme each month! I'm also doing a tbr reduction project that I started this year but decided to put on hold until next year called Read it or Reap. I will definitely come back to yours for inspiration through the year too!
I remember your read it or reap videos! When you get back to it next year, I hope it all goes well 😊
I love the way you’ve structured this and I can’t wait to see how you do! Good luck! ☺️💛
Thank you so much!! Need to get some inspiration from the size of your TBR 😚
I love how you are doing this. I might switch Jan & Feb round as for some reason I always love a big book in Jan. I will try and join in as much as possible. You are the challenge QWWWWWEEEEN so you got this💪
It makes sense to want to read a thick book in the thick of winter! ❄️ thank you for the support 🥹
Great ideas and hope this really helps reduce the tbr down!! Sounds like good fun 🎄
Thank you! And I hope you’re doing well x
Im not sure why i've stopped watching booktube but still subscribe to do many. This sounds like something id love to join though! I want to read what i have and trying to overall declutter my life and everything. So this feels like a great help!
Please do join 😇 the more the merrier! And declutterring life generally sounds so relaxing 😌
Balancing the books mention - that's nostalgic :- ) Okay I'm hyped for the series, I love how you're approaching it from all the angles. And the themed music snippets? Perfection :- D
It was an iconic and creative way to do wrap ups! Thank you 🎶 I can't wait to get started!
What a fantastic idea! Excited to see how this goes for you!
Yay, thank you! ☺️
Love the way you are doing this, and doing something different for each month! I hopefully will join for some of the months, my TBR is huge!!
It would be fun to have you joining in! We can conquer those TBRs 💪🏾
These sound so fun! I tend to not read the books I think I’m going to love and read the ones I’m less excited about first. I don’t know why!! But that’s going to change next year. I need new favorite books!
It is so strange that we hold off like that!! Yess we are going to find those favourite books next year 💪🏾
I LOVE THIS!!!! the songs omg iconic
Hahaha thank you 😄
Yes to strategic reading!
Yess 🔥
YES! Im looking forward to this!! I am taking this year to tackle my TBR too :) I think I am going to try and do a monthly check in but ive not been really motivated to make videos! I love the music too :) Such a fab idea to split it into challenges and I do the same with 5 star predictions!
We have got this 💪🏾 our TBRs will be tackled!! It can be tricky when not motivated but be kind to yourself - tackling the TBR whether on film or not is more than enough 🙂
Exciting! Can't wait to see how you get on 😃
Thank you 🌸
Love the musical inspiration for each month, and love the idea of this challenge! I'll definitely be joining in with the graphic novel/manga month because my TBR for both of those is huge 😂 Good luck with the whole challenge!
Music inspires me so much in life 😄 Yess we can team up for the graphic novels and manga 🙌🏾
@@OliviasCatastrophe I look foward to it!
You are the only booktuber I know who has a bigger TBR than me :)
Haha not sure if that’s a good thing 😅 I know Gavin’s is larger than mine, at least 😮💨
My physical TBR is usually less than 50, so I really only worry about it in terms of trying to be better about not letting books linger for years unread. I do have some re-reads planned for next year (mostly of books that I last read 15-25 years ago), but I'm also trying to put a lot of thought into the books that I decide to purchase next year.
I need to keep up with putting thought into what I acquire as well! And it’s good to get to the oldest books when you can so they do actually get read ✨
Good luck! Can't wait to see how your challenge goes. :)
I have about 430 unread physical books and will see how my reading next year goes. I might join in on some month with you.
It would be fun to do a month or two along with you! 🤍
I need to get through my physical TBR for real so this is a great idea!
I hope getting through yours next year goes well too 👏🏾
Oooo this is such a cool challenge you've set yourself!! Good luck 💜💜
Thank you 🙏🏾✨
Sounds a fantastic plan, will join in too xx
Yay! I hope it goes well for both of us 😚
This sounds so cool! I’m planning on focusing on my unread books next year too, might have to on a ban! lol 😅
A buying ban would help… I should probably consider it too 🙈 you got this!!
You channeled Beyoncé 👌🏼
I love all these titles 🍑
Beyhive now and forever 🐝

I love these challenges. I think for series, I want to make it through some series to either keep or get rid of. I think everything on my tbr is BIG book 😅 but i need my tbr down at least 60% read.
I think one month is do my Backlist author to read her book or at least some of her book.
Im still debating if I want to restart the twisted tales disney series
Sometimes series take up so much shelf space so it’s good to know if they are staying or you can clear some space!! We can conquer those TBRs 💪🏾
