A RAD Reading Challenge for 2024
This is one of my favorite things to create year after year — A RAD Reading Challenge is back for 2024!
The focus this year is to intentionally read DIVERSELY. (it matters!!! so much!!!)
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, it’s my hope that this challenge would be a fun encouragement to read more (even if that’s just a few pages more than you have before). 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, paste in book cover photos, whatever you like!
I’ve added an Instagram story version of the challenge as well, and a graphic to share if you’re in and want to invite others to join you.
Be sure to tag me on Instagram or TikTok @alltheradreads and use #aradreadingchallenge as you go so I can see your progress and share your posts!

i firmly believe books are the very best gifts, even if nobody ever gets them for me because they think i have too many! not true!!! anyway. i’ve turned to gifting books to my people in hopes that it inspires them to return the favor… and also because as previously stated, i believe books are the best gifts.
