2022 Monthly Motif Reading Challenge Sign Ups

Welcome to the 2022 Monthly Motif Reading Challenge! We’re so excited to be back for another year of reading with you!

HOW IT WORKS

~ This is a monthly challenge that runs all year long from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

~ A Motif (theme) is given for each month. Your task is to read 1 book that fits the motif for that month.

~ A check in post will be published here on the blog, in our Goodreads group, and on Instagram each month where you can track your progress and link up with other participants.

    Definitely in! I like the motif AND word monthly challenges; how exciting! Too bad the fantasy monthly challenge didn’t stick out 2021 but it’s understandable. I’ve seen a couple other fantasy challenges I’ll have to take a peek at!
