2025 Read Harder Challenge - Monthly Meet Up

Let's wrap up another month of the Book Riot's 2025 Read Harder Challenge. We're halfway through the challenge! The Read Harder Challenge is a list of 24 different (usually genre based) challenges. Each month, I'll pick two challenges and ask attendees complete at least ONE of the challenges prior to the event. Some attendees may complete both (which is great!) but I know that's not realistic for everyone.

For June, the two challenges to choose from are:
a) Read a staff pick from an indie bookstore (Preferably, from your local indie bookstore)
b) Read a nonfiction book about nature or the environment.

If you really want a challenge, Book Riot adds a bonus task: complete all tasks with LGBTQ+ and/or BIPOC books.

For more information about the challenge, a downloadable tracking sheet, suggestions and general fun, please check out their website at: https://bookriot.com/read-harder-2025/
