2024-2025 Adult Winter Reading Challenge Instructions: December 21 - January 31

Come read with us: December 21 - January 31

Calling all book lovers! We’ve got some great news. Our Summer Reading Challenge was such a hit that we're launching our very first WINTER READING CHALLENGE!

For those who've joined us before, welcome back—the rules are the same. If this is your first time, we're glad to have you! We've put together 10 interesting categories to inspire your reading this winter. Feel free to tackle all of them, just one, or anything in between. The main goal is to enjoy your reading!

THE RULES (just two, we promise):

1. Each category can only be completed once.

2. Each book counts for only one category.

Once you've finished a book that fits a category, submit it through the form on our website. You can always track your progress and see what others are reading on our community leaderboard. And there’s more! Want to connect with fellow readers? Join our Westport Reading Challenge Facebook Group to discuss books, share recommendations, and stay motivated throughout the challenge.

So, are you ready to cozy up with some great books this winter? We can't wait to see what you'll read!
