We are so excited to announce our 2nd Booked Seasonal Reading Challenge! #Booked2018 was started last year to bring you a year-long reading challenge. To make it slightly less overwhelming, we broke it into four seasons. #Booked2019 will follow the same format!

There will be six prompts for each season for a total of 24 prompts spread across the year. Since we all live in different locales, you choose the season! If January means summer to you, hooray! If you're freezing your toes off in February, keep it cozy and warm in the first quarter!

Most of all, have fun with it! We tried to find a diverse variety of prompts to use for the challenge.

Just like last year, we will again be hosting quarterly giveaways! At the end of each season (end of March, June, September, and December), we will be holding a small giveaway. Each completed prompt earns one entry in that season's giveaway! You MUST use the hashtag #Booked2019 and tag each of us so that your completed entry is counted! We will be checking the #Booked2019 hashtag on a regular basis to keep track of entries.

Below are the 24 prompts we've chosen for 2019. Start scouring your shelves!
