Welcome to the 2024 Reading Challenge

This Challenge is geared towards adults and young adults. Our children’s reading challenge will be posted soon.

Our 2024 Reading Challenge is all about getting you excited about reading! It encourages you to read outside your comfort zone and discover something new you might not have read otherwise.

There are three challenges and 52 prompts giving flexibility and encouraging you to become an adventurous reader!

  • One at a Time: Pick 12 prompts and read one book per month.
  • Double Up: Pick 24 prompts and read a book every other week.
  • 52 Pick Up: Pick all 52 prompts and read one book each week of the year!

Join our Reading Challenge Facebook Group where each week will post book ideas that fit the reading prompts and to stay connected with other reading challenge members.

Remember: ALL books count! E-books, audio-books, hardcover, paperback etc.
