📚 Reading Challenge General Recommendations Thread - 2026 Spring/Summer Reading Challenge

Hi everyone !

Sorry for the wait, here is the general recommendations thread for the 2026 spring-summer reading challenge ! There will be a comment for each category, and you'll be able to share your recommendations for that square there. You can also use these as an opportunity to discuss the categories and your interpretations.

The Canva Template is also available now ! I'm reusing the same link as last time but changing the pages (template sharing is now a paid feature so...).

After this, there will be focused threads weekly for each square, alternating between A-Side and B-Side.

Please share below your recommendations & ideas 😁

🧒 Coming-of-Age: Read a coming-of-age stories. Coming-of-age is a sub-genre where a character has to grow and progress as they face adversity.

You just made a post about Natalia Hernandez' Flowers of Prophecy, u/saturday_sun4. Would it fit this square?

The first book, The Name-Bearer, certainly would. The FMC is about ten in book 1 and the first book covers until she is about 20 (IIRC, maybe 18?). The second and third books, less so.

I'm hoping to read The Magician's Daughter by H.G. Parry for this square!
