Overview
This is a challenge by the @52bookclub on Instagram, and I am uploading here to keep track of my reads.
from the 52bookclub website:
As we challengers like to say, “Your challenge, your rules!” So, get creative with the prompts and most importantly, have fun! The goal is to try books you might not otherwise pick up off the shelf and stretch ourselves outside of our regular reading habits. Read more. Read differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
– Do I have to complete the challenge in order?
Not unless you want to! Feel free to mix it up as you like.
Not unless you want to! Feel free to mix it up as you like.
– Can I use the same book for more than one prompt?
If you want to complete the challenge as it was ORIGINALLY designed, then the goal is to read 52 different books over the course of the year. This means NO doubling up on prompts.
BUT… using the same book for more than one prompt IS helpful for those who aren’t able to read 52 books in one year. (Example: Your goal is to read 20 books for the year, but you still want to check off all 52 categories. In this case, you could double them up to complete the list with fewer books.)
Remember — your challenge, your rules.

– I feel bad that I’m not reading as much as others.
This club is pressure-free! Some participants read five books a year. Others read two-hundred-and-five. Find what works for you while still trying to push yourself. Set reading goals that are fun and attainable, but that stretch your comfort zones!

– How do I find books for each prompt?
There are a few ways to go about finding books. First, I’d recommend joining our Facebook Group. Use the “search” function within the group to see what others are reading for each prompt or post a comment, asking for recommendations. I’d also recommend using Goodreads — there are often lists full of books that match each prompt. Get as creative as you need to!

– I’m joining late. Can I use books I’ve already read?
Definitely! Any book read within that specific calendar year, counts! (Example: Any book read in 2020 counts towards the 2020 Challenge.)

– Do I have to read books I don’t like?
Ugh, no! There’s nothing worse than forcing yourself through a “bad” book. Try a little research and find books that fit the prompt but still sound interesting for you. (See question below.) The point of this challenge is to have FUN while reading! That being said, one of the main goals of this challenge is to stretch our reading habits. Often times, we get stuck in “book ruts” and we need a little push to try something new. This is why the challenge is purposefully very diverse in its prompts.
