2023 Reading Challenges

We love a good reading challenge, so we’ve designed four fun options for adults (as well as one for kids). The challenge options include reading around the world, reading around the US states, reading through decades from the 1880s-2010s, and exploring characters of different ages.

All of these reading challenges allow you to find books that you’ll love within your preferred genre, or to push yourself outside of your reading comfort zone, if that’s what you’re after. These adult challenges are designed to run from January through December, but you’re welcome to jump in anytime!

Once you’ve picked your challenge (of course, you can do more than one if you’d like), be sure to join our Facebook Group! We have a very welcoming and active group of book lovers that enjoy discussing books from these reading challenges, as well as sharing other book recommendations.
