A RAD Reading Challenge for 2021
This is one of my favorite things to create year after year. A RAD Reading Challenge is a fun, motivating, inspiring, and easy way to branch out and read more, get out of reading ruts, and discover books I never would have read otherwise.
There are nine categories in the 2021 challenge, so I hope that it feels doable and exciting to all kinds of readers! I love encouraging you all to read more, whether your goal is to read a few books or a few hundred, whether you’re stoked about reading or find it to be a struggle. I’ll be doing this reading challenge right alongside you, and it’s my goal to focus on books by diverse authors as much as I can to complete it. I hope you’ll join me!
You can print out the challenge by clicking the image or button below — you can write in the titles you have read (or what you’re planning on reading) as you go!
Be sure to tag me on Instagram @alltheradreads and use #aradreadingchallenge as you go so I can see your progress and share your posts! I’ll share more in my stories on Insta if you want to track your progress digitally or share with your friends and followers, too.
