2023 & 2024 Reading Challenge
January - Marathon Challenge
Duration: January 1 - January 31, 2024

Back by popular demand! We are once again kicking off the year with a running start! How often is it our New Year's Resolution to read more books? How many of us set goals higher than we did last year? How many of us want to read that super long classic that has been sitting on our bookshelf collecting dust, or spend a winter day curled up on the couch with a pile of graphic novels? Let's start 2024 with a marathon of reading!

Pick a pile of books that you feel you could snuggle up with: a nice over-500-page book, a stack of books under 100 pages, or those books that have been on your TBR list for way too long. Anything you choose is fair game!

This is not a sprint, but a way to spend January in the pages! Pick the number of pages or books you would like to read in January and post them below. The goal is to make fast progress on your reading goals in the New Year. Who would have thought that you could do a marathon by hurrying up and sitting with a book?

I’ll be cheering you along and helping you get off to a running start!

Ready......Set.......Read!
