A new year is a great time to take a long hard look at your bookshelves, wish lists, and to-read pile, but it’s not always easy to decide what to read next. We’re here to help with the brand new BOOKMARKED READING CHALLENGE! Our team has put together a list of some fun, some serious selections to help you whittle down that pile and/or expand your reading horizons. 

Download a PDF copy of the list and share with us on social media using the hashtag #BookmarkedReadingChallenge.
