Booklist Queen's 2024 Reading Challenge

Each year, I take on different reading challenges as a way to get outside of my reading comfort zone. For 2024, I plan to read a total of 104 books by completing the 52 Book Club's 2024 reading challenge (consisting of 52 books) and the Booklist Queen's 2024 Reading Challenge (also consisting of 52 books.) 

Although I am usually able to accomplish my reading goald for the year, for this year's challenge Booklist Queen has added the following details to those particpating in the 2024 reading challenge:

If you feel overwhelmed by 52 categories, don’t worry. It’s okay if you don’t finish the challenge. I want this Reading Challenge for 2024 to be aspirational. I want to push you to read more – whether that’s 12 books a year or 52. I want you to get out of your reading rut and try new genres. 

Don’t like one of the categories in the 2024 Reading Challenge? Change it or skip it. Double count a book for multiple prompts. Interpret the prompts any way you like.

Below is the list of reading prompts for the 2024 reading challenge which I'll start on January 1, 2024. After I finish each reading prompt, I'll update this list.
