Hey y’all! With the end of September comes the end of the 2022 Summer Reading Challenge from Kindle. You can see all the achievements and badges for that here, and start preparing to move on to the new challenge: the Year End Challenge! This new challenge runs from October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 with 15 possible achievements.
Below is a guide to the Kindle Year End Challenge. It’s following the same format as the previous challenges (you can see an FAQ here including links to past and current challenges). Prior to the reveal of the criteria for each mystery badge, the hint will be shown below. As the mystery achievements are revealed, I’ll update this page to show the criteria for each, and then the badge itself once the challenge is completed!

My Book Joy 
I never track these, but it’s always amusing for me to see what challenges I end up completing anyway. Most of my ebook reading is done on iBooks, but there’s still enough on the Kindle app that I’m sure I’ll get at least a couple of these done in the 3 months it runs.

LOL! I always get at a minimum the “read one book” one. Even though myst of my ebooks are in iBooks and not Kindle, I still have enough on Kindle!

I just received notice that I received “gold” for the year end challenge. What does this mean? Do I get something or is it for personal satisfaction?

Hey there! That probably means that you got the achievement “Gold Reader” for reading at least 75 days in the last 3 months. It’s just a decorative little badge for your own satisfaction 🙂
