It’s a new year, a whole new decade, which means plenty of reading to do! We’ve created the Fairlight Reading Challenge 2020 to encourage readers to explore beyond their bookish comfort zones and find some great books!
Over the course of the year read or listen to:
- A self-help book
- A book by a BAME author
- A collection of short stories published in 2020
- A book set in a country that you would like to visit next
- A book that’s part of a series
- A book about one of your hobbies
- A book on climate change
- A book that you picked up because of the cover
- A book by an author whose name you can’t pronounce
- A book with an orange cover
- A book a friend’s been telling you about
- A book recommended by a bookseller
- A 2019 award-winning book
- A 2020 debut author
- A book by an author from your home town
- A book that’s been made into a movie
- A book with the title that starts with your initial
- A book by a comedian
- A book by a woman about a woman
