Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge discussion

Welcome to the fourth edition of Book Riot’s annual reading challenge, the 2018 Read Harder challenge. Every year, more and more of you discover and complete Read Harder, and with every new edition, we give you 24 tasks that will invite new genres, new authors, and new worlds, both real and imaginary, into your reading life.

This year, you’ll find many new tasks and many that take previous years’ tasks and add another layer of complexity or interest. Hopefully you’ll find tasks that excite you and tasks that push your reading boundaries. I’m particularly delighted with this year’s batch and I personally can’t wait for January 1st to get started.

Just as in years past, there are 24 tasks, averaging two per month over the course of the next 12 months. You may count one book for multiple tasks or read one book per task. I’ve said it the last three challenges, so it bears repeating: “We encourage you to push yourself, to take advantage of this challenge as a way to explore topics or formats or genres that you otherwise wouldn’t try. But this isn’t a test. No one is keeping score and there are no points to post. We like books because they allow us to see the world from a new perspective, and sometimes we all need help to even know which perspectives to try out. That’s what this is—a perspective shift—but one for which you’ll only be accountable to yourself.”

If you want a bit more accountability nonetheless, add a social element to your challenge, or need some help with challenge books, the Read Harder group on 카지노싸이트 is an excellent resource throughout the year for sharing your reading plans, discussing the tasks, and finding new books to fit the challenge. You can also check in all over social media with the hashtag #ReadHarder. And join Book Riot Insiders for access to an exclusive Read Harder podcast where Josh and Sharifa will offer suggestions, highlighting a new task each episode.
