Shake up your shelf, try something new, and earn a prize!

To complete the challenge, read a book from each of the 12 categories listed by August 31, 2024. There's also a small prize for reading 6 books and making it halfway through the challenge.
 

Read your way

Read your books in any order and any format: books, e-books, audiobooks, graphic novels, etc. 

Complete the challenge as quickly as you like, or take it slow and spread it out over the year.
