The 2024 Reading Challenge offers monthly booklists to inspire you to read more. Slay your reading goals this year!
Every year, I put together a fun reading challenge that we can take on together, friends. I love to escape into an entertaining book, but often, I don’t set aside time to read or can’t decide what to read next. Can you relate?
The 2024 Reading Challenge to the rescue. This easy challenge will help you stay motivated and provide you with plenty of reading inspiration!
How Does it Work?
This reading challenge is super easy and convenient! Each month, I’ll post a booklist based on the monthly theme.
Choose a book (or two or three if you’re a bookworm) from the list and make it your read for the month. By the end of the year, you’ll have read at least a dozen books. Go you!
Do I have to read only the books on your list?
Good question! Of course, if you don’t like my book recommendations, please find a book that matches your tastes and preferences based on the monthly theme’s reading prompt.
The main goal is to read more this year. So, you do you!
How will I know when you post a new booklist?
Here’s the most convenient part of this booklist. I’ve made it super easy to follow this challenge.
- Sign up for my Book Lover’s Newsletter. Each month, I’ll send you the featured booklist with descriptions directly to your inbox. All you have to do is open and click on a book that piques your interest!
- Follow me on social media. I’ll share a link to my post on Facebook, Instagram, X, and Pinterest.
- Bookmark my Reading Challenge Page, which I update with links to each month’s booklist.
This Year’s Booklist Theme: “Books That …”
This year, I thought I’d add a fun twist and have each month’s booklist start with the phrase, “Books That …”
Books serve so many purposes, from informing to entertaining to broadening our horizons and more. So, I decided to lean into that idea and single out one purpose each month. Hopefully, by the end of the year, this theme will ultimately translate to “books that inspired you to read more.”
