The Linzthebookworm/Logophile 2022 Reading Challenge (5th anniversary edition)

Starts: Saturday, 01 January 2022

Ends: Saturday, 31 December 2022

This "Choose Your Own Adventure" scavenger hunt-style challenge has been hosted by Linzthebookworm and The Logophile every year since 2018.

The challenge is organized into 5 tiers of 12 categories, each with a "free space" to slot in whatever strikes your fancy. The tiers contain more challenging categories as you ascend to higher levels. Pick your challenge level based on how many books you want to try to read during the year, or play along however you like.

Level 1 - Book of the Month Club
Level 2 - Casual Reader Club
Level 3 - Dedicated Reader Club
Level 4 - Speed Reader Club
Level 5 - Overachiever Club
