We’re starting to see signs of spring outside, and we’re thrilled to be transitioning from snowy reads to tales of flowers, bees, and fresh starts. While we’ll always love our annual reading challenges, sometimes it’s fun to enjoy the quicker win of completing a smaller challenge.

For spring, we’ve prepared a four-book challenge. And we have book recommendations ready for all three reading prompts!
