As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

The best time of year has arrived. And no, we’re not talking about the holidays — the 2024 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge is here. For a decade now, our annual Reading Challenge has delighted our community of readers across the globe with 50 book prompts, driving loyal fans and new readers alike to discover the magic of the written word.

This year, we have a fun theme you’ll see pop up throughout our prompts — in keeping with embracing the magic of words, you’ll find subtle references to dictionaries. Maybe you’ll learn the proper definition of a literary genre or look up a new word in the process. You’ll also see several prompts related to the number 24, given this is our 2024 challenge.

Download our printable list of book prompts here, which allows you to easily check them off as you go. This year, we’re also introducing an awesome new element: a tracker that allows you to paste your chosen book covers to each corresponding prompt.

And as you embark on reading, be sure to join the POPSUGAR Book Club on Facebook, a community of POPSUGAR editors and readers from around the world who delight in the challenge each year. You can discuss challenging prompts, swap picks, and more.

Without further ado, keep reading for the 2024 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge prompts and tracker, along with book suggestions courtesy of our editors.
