Welcome to the M. Judson Booksellers Reading Challenge, where we break you out of your comfort zone and take you places you never thought you’d go.
Each month, pick a book that fits the prompt (you can be creative with it), and then submit your reading here. For extra credit and to share the fun, post to your social media account with the hashtag #mjreads2023.
At the end of the year, we’ll gather the names of those who finished all 12 months and draw a winner for a big bag of books and a gift card. Everyone who finishes will be invited to a celebratory party!
This challenge is about more than upping your reading for the year. It’s about being an adventurous reader for life. Are you up for the challenge?
Obviously, you do this challenge for the books, but a party can’t hurt.
If you finish reading a book for each month of this challenge, then you’re in line for an invite to this exclusive, invite-only party!
Last year, we had a blast sipping on bubbly, eating snacks from Camilla Kitchen, and sharing what we read throughout the year. We made new friends, found new great reads, got ideas for the next year, and gave away some really juicy giveaways. More than anything, this party is a celebration of what we all love: reading.
To get an invitation, we need you to submit each book you’ve read through the form above. Not only does this help us find and check all your social media posts, but it allows those of you with private accounts or no socials to easily participate. The form also provides us with your email, which is how we’ll send out invitations. So tell all your friends: get those form submissions in!
Finished a book? Log your reading here to make sure we have your progress on file!
*Even if you are posting on social media, please log your books here as well. With the massive amount of people now participating in the challenge each year, we don’t want to miss a single entry! This is the best way to ensure we don’t.
Our Event Manager Savannah (who has always dreamed of being a playwright) says: Smile: A Memoir by Sarah Ruhl is a great insider look into the mind of one of America’s best playwrights in the last twenty years, it’s full of great moments of being both a talented writer (with a play going up on Broadway) and also a being a mom.
