Welcome to the 2026 Tawdra Kandle Challenge!
⭐ THE TAWDRA KANDLE CHALLENGE ⭐
A year-long romance reading experience for fans who want heart, community, and stories they’ll remember long after “The End.”
Welcome to The Tawdra Kandle Challenge — a cozy, joyful, story-filled journey through twelve months of romance. If you love escaping into warm small towns, royal love stories, heart-stealing military heroes, swoony football players, or laugh-out-loud rom-com moments… you’re in the right place.
This challenge is not about prizes or pressure.
It’s about connection — to stories, to characters, to a community of readers who want to fall in love again and again.
Every month brings you:
- A themed romance reading adventure
- A free book from the Tawdra Kandle Books store
- A monthly creative challenge (fun & easy!)
- A live Zoom chat with Tawdra
- A collectible reading passport to track your journey
And best of all?
You choose how deeply you participate — no stress, no deadlines, no competition.
Just joyful reading and authentic connection.
