Dear Reader,

Welcome to my 2022 Ultimate Reading Challenge! I'd say it's for seasoned readers, but all are welcome! There are 30 prompts, which averages about 2.5 books a month, but luckily, I've made 12 of the prompts optional! These are like little bonuses if you need some inspiration or motivation to read something that may be out of the norm for you. I've added a variety of prompts to also give you the chance to get through your own TBR. 

I've added many books to each prompt to give you some options, but you're more than welcome to read whatever book you want to fulfill the prompt requirements! I tried to steer clear of the more popular authors and books that are found on BookTok/Bookstagram or just big name books (the exception of course would being the BookTok and YA Throwback prompts!). I also tried to be as inclusive as I could when it came to mental health, disability, BIPOC, plus-size, religious, and LGBTQIA+ representation in the books and the authors (while trying to also include books with protagonists aged 13 to 40). A lot of these books are ones I'd read if I could, but for the most part, they're books I haven't read, so they're not recommendations from me, but ones I found to fit the criteria. That being said, some of these books could be terrible, and some of them could be problematic (which I tried really hard to sus out but I went through over 400 books). I tried to only include books that had a rating of 3.30 or higher just to be sure, but that's no guarantee. 
 
Keep in mind that there's ALOT of crossovers with the books I've added, therefore there may be smut in some of the books not in the spicy prompt (i.e. Add Some Spice in Your Life) and there may be some books that handle difficult topics outside of the more serious prompts (i.e. Someone Order a YA?). And unless the prompt strictly states is YA, it's possible that there are YA, NA, or smutty books in any of the other prompts (for instance, there's likely to be YA and NA and smut in the romance-related prompts), so always check a book and its trigger warnings before reading. But if you see a book in one prompt that could satisfy another prompt, feel free to use it! 

I'm a little new to StoryGraph, but if you're able to message me about any concerns you have for the suggestions or prompts, let me know! 

Otherwise, Happy Reading! 
 

Love, 
Rose
