The Winter 2024 Reading Challenge

We are back with a new seasonal challenge – The Winter 2024 Reading Challenge!

We’ve been doing our annual reading challenges for years, but this is only our second year of seasonal challenges!

Below you’ll find a mix of romance, mystery, and thought-provoking reads to help enhance your winter hibernation! The goal, as always, is to get you out of your reading comfort zone!

Winter 2024 Reading Challenge

Just like in previous seasons, we will be playing on Instagram. If you are participating in our year-long challenge, you’ll be pleased to see the December, January, and February prompts are included on this board so you can play both challenges at the same time!

If you subscribe to our newsletter, you know that each quarter we release a free magazine with reading challenge picks and new release highlights. Many of the prompts on this bingo board are in the magazine as well!
