INTRODUCING #broadenyourbookshelf24
Join us on Instagram to take part in our 2024 reading challenge!
One prompt per month.
March Prompt: Spring! Let's read #springbooks - Pick a book that screams all things birds, bees, and butterflies to you, whether because of the title, the topic, or even cover design!
February prompt: #blackjoy
January prompt: Start the year with something new! Read something in a genre (or sub-genre) you wouldn’t usually. #newyearnewgenre
Post as many books as you’d like each month— let us know what you like (and don’t). Tag us and use our hashtags — comment on and share other participants’ posts — look for your recommended books in store!
Enjoy surprises and some small prizes along the way!
