Reading Challenges
Reading challenges embrace diverse formats, catering to the individual preferences and goals of readers. Whether you find solace in the structured guidance of prompts or prefer the liberating flexibility of a predetermined reading goal, there exists a reading challenge finely tuned for every palate. In my case, I lean towards establishing a clear goal for the number of books to read throughout the year instead of adhering to specific prompts. The liberty to curate my reading list while striving to achieve a set quantity renders the reading journey uniquely satisfying and purposeful. The key lies in discovering the approach that harmonizes with your distinctive reading style and aspirations. If prompts appeal to you, here are eight creative ideas to spark your reading adventure.
