Book Riot publishes a challenge to Read Harder. There are 24 books on the list that are designed to challenge you to read new genres, authors, and points of view.
January 1, 2021: The planned prompts have been updated to the 2021 list. Maybe this year will be better for reading. Harry Potter books listed in planned reading for 2020 has been moved to Complete Readings as I read the series twice in 2020. The remaining 2020 prompts were removed from the list.
