Spring Reading Challenge (With Templates and Printable PDF)

Spring Reading Challenge Ideas For Adults

In creating this reading challenge, I had two very different types of readers in mind:

1. those who want to read but life gets in the way
2. those who read avidly and want to be sure to incorporate seasonal reading into their TBR

These are the two most common types of readers I hear from, so this challenge is designed to help both types reach their spring reading goals with these spring lifestyle tips.

March: An Irish Author or Setting

March is widely known for being the month when we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and wear (and start to see outside) green. So, let’s read one of the best Irish books or authors!

To get you started, my top three picks are:

• Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt: best for fans of memoirs
• The Heart’s Invisible Furies by John Boyne: best for fans of Irish historical fiction
• Normal People by Sally Rooney: best for fans of contemporary literary fiction

April: A Book Set in Spring

Spring is in full swing during April, so let’s read a book set during spring to celebrate its return.

To get you started, my top three picks are:

• It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover: the best contemporary fiction option, using flowers as a metaphor for a story of rebirth
• Late Migrations by Margaret Renkl: the best non-fiction option, weaving nature into themes of life in short essays
• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: the best classic option, set in the picturesque English countryside

May: Feel Good Fiction

Spring is the season when we want to feel uplifted and renewed, so it’s a perfect time to read feel good fiction.

To get you started, my top three picks are:

• The Maid by Nita Prose: best for cozy mystery readers
• The Midnight Library by Matt Haig: best for fans of magical realism
• Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt: best for fans of animal characters
