2026 New Releases

Read one new release each month for 2026. Each book must be published in the corresponding month. Translations of previously published books count, but re-releases or special editions of books published before do not.

Here's how to participate in the reading challenge:

1. Log in to the website.
2. Click the text "Participate" next to the challenge task to which you want to add a book you've read that fits the theme. The book must be read (or listened to) during the year 2025.
3. In the "Book title" field, enter the name of the book. A dropdown menu will appear below the field with suggestions from Rising's database that match the title. If the book you read appears in the list, click on it. If it’s not found in Rising’s database, write the full name of the book and the author's name.
4. If you want, you can write a short explanation in the lower text field about why the book you read fits the particular challenge task.
5. Finally, click "Save".
