September 2025 Reading Challenge: Leaves Turning, Pages Turning
Sep 1 – Sep 30, 2025
About this challenge
As summer fades and the first hints of autumn appear, September is a time of transition—shorter days, cooler nights, and the quiet anticipation of change. This month, our challenge invites you to choose a book that captures the feeling of the seasons shifting.
It could be a lyrical memoir reflecting on life’s turning points, a collection of poetry that mirrors nature’s rhythms, or a novel that embodies the bittersweet beauty of change. Look for stories that echo autumn’s themes: transformation, nostalgia, renewal, or the gentle passage of time.
The goal isn’t just to read—it’s to savor. Let the words move at the same pace as falling leaves, reminding us that every ending makes space for a new beginning.
