Book Log Highlights: 2024 Reading Challenges
Each month, we take the ratings you submit on the reading challenge book logs and gather them into highlights of the highest-rated books. It’s always fun to see which books rise to the top, and we always bump books up our own TBR lists after seeing the results.

The Read Around the USA and Lifetime of Reading Challenges are self-paced for 2024. Since you can read books for these challenge prompts in any order throughout the year, there are no book logs for the Read Around the USA and Lifetime Challenges this year, and therefore no book log highlights.
