The 52 Book Club'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.) 

If you'd like to participate in this 2024 reading challenge, visit www.the52bookclub.com/2024-reading-challenge.

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.
