*DNF = Did not finish. In other words, drop a book that does not bring you joy, rather than finishing it! 

Achievements with can be coupled with other books, because the achievements are principally not about reading any one specific book. Achievements with cannot have the same book as another achievement, unless you have read that book twice in 2025. 

 

 

Rules

 

 1. Unless otherwise stated, an achievement can only be collected for something you have done in 2025. Books started before 2025 are allowed.

2. One book cannot grant multiple achievements. E.g. if you read a book about neuroscience and mental health, you cannot use the book to collect both achievement 1 and 3, but must choose one (see above for caveats).

3. To complete an achievement, you must write about it in the forum and report on your experience! What was completing the goal like? Reflect on the book in context of the achievement, and write a small paragraph. E.g. "I read Shakespeare's Hamlet for 20 Old is Gold" will not be accepted. 

 4. If a challenge includes reading a book, you must finish it to collect the achievement (unless otherwise stated).

5. Breaking the rules can lead to disqualification. Please be considerate and do not use repeat entries.

 

 


While not a requirement, you can use this format to claim your achievements if you like! 

 

Completed: [Book by Author or task]
Time: [start-finish]
Achievement: [# Name]

Thoughts on the book: [General impression of the book. You can include ratings etc.]
Thoughts on the achievement: [How did the challenge of the achievement influence your thoughts on the book? Or how did the book influence your thoughts on the achievement?]

 

EXAMPLE:

Completed: The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson
Time: Dec 8-Dec 10
Achievement: 47 Out of this World

Thoughts on the book: 4/5. I don't think I read this book in the best headspace so I would like to return to it sometime when I can read it with more regard for the book itself. There's a lot of loss, and it was difficult to see a character that deserves so much better in that position. Still, I really enjoyed the character progression throughout this book, and the poetic ending. There was a lot of emotional resonance in it.
Thoughts on the achievement: Not only does this book take place way away from anything like Earth, but the main character is also far away from his home planet, so it only made sense to let Nomad carry this achievement for me. Not only are we away from home, but we long for a home we cannot get back, that we cannot return to. It is painful and difficult to go through the things life throws at us. Not only is it about mourning the loss of what we cannot get back, but also learning to live with it, and accepting the light that shines upon us after. It can be difficult to accept it when we've been hurt, even if it's fleeting. But good is good. And we do well to love ourselves enough to accept it when its there.
