First things first: Get acquainted with our Reading Challenge Prompts!
This challenge is the core of our group and is created through member votes each year.

Once you've decided to take on the challenge, create a plan in our Planning Folder.
This serves as a great place to track your progress and keep track of any books you may want to read for various prompts.

Need inspiration for a prompt? Check out our Weekly Topic Threads.
Each week has it's own discussion, where people post possible books that would work. There's also helpful links and a link to our own listopia for each prompt. If you're stuck on what to read for a prompt, these threads are a great place to start.

Finally, snag a spot on our Community Spreadsheet.
This spreadsheet tracks our group's reading stats, and helps us see which prompts are getting read!


Here are some FAQs from the Goodreads group admin team:

Q: Do I have to read the prompts in order?
A: NOPE! You can tackle the challenge however you want to tackle it.

Q: Can I change the prompt I want to assign for each book after I've already recorded it?
A: Yes! Feel free to treat this challenge like a puzzle. You are always welcome to move books around as you'd like.

Q: Are there any official hashtags that we can use when posting on Instagram/Listy/etc.?
A: Yes! #aroundtheyearin52books and #ATY2021 are two of our most popular!
