A fun reading challenge where a bookworm has her Spotify playlist determine how long she reads in a day. How much can she read before the timer goes off? 

My Spotify Playlist Picks How Long I Read

| writing through life one step at a time | 

Hi friends! Today I am doing a really fun writing challenge! I saw a booktuber do this challenge where they have their Spotify playlist, put it on shuffle and whatever song pops up then that is how long they will read. So if a song is 2 minutes and 14 seconds then they will read for 2 hours and 14 minutes. Simple right? 

I want to see how much I can read in a day with this challenge. So far in January, I’ve read one book (Novelists In November) and two books in the Bible (Acts & Romans). I’m just a few pages away from finishing Perelandra by C.S. Lewis so that’s the first book on my list to finish! Let’s see what else I can read before the end of the challenge! 

How to play the playlist reading challenge: 

• Choose a playlist 

• Hit shuffle

• Whatever song plays is how long you will read (minutes turn to hours and seconds to minutes)

• Start a timer on your phone or other device 

• Read until the timer goes off (or break it up into multiple parts of the day but it must be in the same day) 

I hope you enjoy reading this post and seeing me do this challenge! Feel free to do this challenge yourself! <3

Good morning lovelies! I’m so excited to try out this challenge and see if I make it! I’m doing this challenge on January 30th and want to see how much I can read with this challenge. Let’s see how much I can read! 

I’m going to use one of my favorite playlists. Vintage Era | oldies but goodies! I love this playlist, and as the title says, it is full of oldies but goodies. Okay! Ready…set…go! 

🎶 September in the Rain by Dinah Washington (2:08) 

Let’s set my timer for 2 hours and 8 minutes! 

In the morning I did my daily Bible reading (about 20 minutes this morning). Im going to doc that from the time because why not, lol. I’m going to start with reading Perelandra by C.S. Lewis! I started this book in the summer of 2024. I have like 9 pages left so that’s what I’m tackling first! 

2:38 pm  

I finished Perelandra! It is SO GOOD! 5 stars! I have no idea how I’m going to review this book. It was so thoughtful and insightful. It’s a book that makes you think. The conversations were brilliant. I love how Lewis writes. It was so interesting seeing this un-fallen world and the enemy trying to deceive this world’s “Eve”. So cool! 

Now that I’ve finished reading Perelandra I’m going to start on the next book on my tbr. I’m choosing Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke! I love this book so much! I’ve read it so many times. While I don’t have to read it again, I have a blog post idea and want a refresher on this story. Let’s start reading! 

Oh, and I have 1 hour and 28 minutes left on my timer. Note: I’m not reading all at once. I’m breaking it into parts if you could tell by the time stamps. 

6:07 pm  

*timer goes off* 

This was such a fun challenge! I definitely want to try this again! I ended up reading 11 chapters in Love Comes Softly so I’m about ⅓ of the way through. I love this story and can’t wait to keep reading! This was definitely a success and I just had so much fun! 

I also documented the whole reading process over on my Pinterest and YouTube if you want to watch my reading day! 

I loved doing this and highly recommended you try out this challenge!
