Reading should always be a challenge but never a chore. After the year we had in 2020, we decided to scale our 2021 reading challenge into two small 6-book challenges that will inspire you to enjoy the books you read while expanding your worldview.

If you want to join a community of fellow readers and share your challenge progress, check out the Read Deliberately and the Read Widely Storygraph challenges. You can also use the #RebelWomenLit hashtag all over social media to share your books and each post enters gives you an opportunity to win a monthly prize from our book(ish) store.

Read Deliberately

1. A book nominated for the OCM BOCAS Prize for Caribbean Literature

2. A book translated into English

3. A book with a focus on mental health

4. A book written by a new-to-me Caribbean writer

5. A non-fiction book on a social justice issue I care about

6. An immigrant story not set in the US, UK or CAN

Read Widely (& For Fun)

1. A book with a reputation for being unputdownable

2. A book from a country you've always wanted to visit

3. A book you were excited to buy but haven't read yet

4. A book from a genre you typically avoid

5. A book you've already read

6. A book you bought/borrowed because of the cover

We’ll be sharing book suggestions for each prompt in our newsletter, on Instagram and Twitter

Don’t just read, read with intention :)
