JaxStacks 2023

You can start and finish this challenge whenever you like!

Welcome to the 2023 Jax Stacks Reading Challenge, the Library's year-round reading challenge for adults! Library staff have hand-picked 16 categories of books for you to read this year. Try a new series, a new genre or a new format (like audiobooks). It's also a great way to check out some books you might have overlooked! Complete 12 categories to finish the challenge!

in Jacksonville, FL, the public library uses bookmarks as bingo sheets. But I'm making this to keep up with it on my own!
