My fourth year participating… I am going to get to 52 books in 52 weeks again this year. Last year I forgot to update it but I had completed the challenge.
Are you ready for another round of Reading 52 books in 52 Weeks? Whether you are just joining in or continuing on for another round, the rules are very simple. The goal is to read one book (at least) a week for 52 weeks. Then now is the time. The goal is to read 52 books. How you get there is up to you.
To aid us in our reading adventures, we have several optional challenges which are listed in the link bar above: A to Z, Dusty and/or Chunky and 52 Books Bingo, as well as our perpetual Well Educated Mind challenge. We have monthly themes and author flavors listed along with a few readalongs and various mini challenges throughout the year to tickle your reading taste buds.
