The 52 Book Club

The 52 Book Club is an annual reading challenge composed of 52 different reading prompts. The goal? To read 52 books in 52 weeks, each one matching one of the challenge categories.

Started in 2018 and originally hosted by Liz over at MommyMannegren.com, this challenge has thousands of participants each year. We’d love for you to join us too!
