It’s time for the 2020 Reading Women Challenge! Reading challenges are a great way to read outside your comfort zone—and you get to do it with other bookish friends! The 2020 challenge officially begins January 1st, 2020 and ends December 31st, 2020.

Here’s the rundown: complete as many challenges as you can from the list below. If you have one book that covers two categories (or more!), feel free to count it for both. It's not a contest. Our goal is to encourage you to read widely (and fight the patriarchy, but that was probably a given), so just have fun with it!

Be sure to share your progress, using the hashtag #ReadingWomenChallenge.

- Search the Reading Women Podcast Episode Show Notes of our past episodes (here's a secret, most of the categories are a variation on last year's episodes). They're organized by theme, so it should be pretty easy to zero in on the category you're looking to fill.
- Our Guest Blog Posts are a great resource for international fiction.
- Join the Reading Women Goodreads group for a wealth of recommendations and to chat with others about what you're reading.
