Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m here talking about a 2022 reading challenge. After all, it is still 2021. Can you guys believe that 2022 will be here in just a few months!? So, since we only have a couple more months to go I want to be able to share my reading challenge with you in hopes some of you will join me. Since I started blogging I have always wanted to create a challenge that other readers would want to join in!

So… why join THIS Reading Challenge?

Since I started blogging in 2018 my TBR has grown a lot. So much so it’s getting a little overwhelming. I think as I continue my book blogging journey that’s not going to change. If I don’t change and work on things now then it’ll get unbearable and drive me crazy, hence why I’m working on this. I want to hold myself accountable and start narrowing my books down. Plus, I want a community that’ll help push me (as well as me pushing them). If this sounds like you then this is the perfect challenge to join. Even if it doesn’t sound like you this will still be an awesome challenge to jin because I’ll be sending out book recommendations each month. There will be three prompts each month with some surrounding certain events happening around that time. Easy right?

This time I’m trying to make the 2022 reading challenge somewhat simple and easy for me and everyone else. But as the years go on (and hopefully more readers joining in) I’m hoping to expand the challenge a little bit and make it something that others would want to do every year.

But for reference, this will never turn into a competition. Granted competitions are fun I feel like a lot of them get too competitive and get a lot of readers in a reading slump. On top of that, a lot of us are in different walks of life and are potentially too busy to keep up with others, so I don’t want anyone to feel left behind!

Okay! Now it’s time to get into the challenges for each month!

Make sure to join the Facebook group for the challenge here.

Challenge by month

I know most of you guys might not want to do month by month but I figured this may be the easiest way to do things. On top of that if you are a book blogger (blog, Instagram, youtube) I’m hoping to do it this way will be easier to share on social media and keep us on track. When you do post make sure to hashtag #OBWReadingChallenge and tag me @ OwlBookWorld (it’s the same on both Instagram and Twitter).
