Get your cozy blankets, hot beverages and TBR piles ready because the Winter Reading Challenge has returned for 2024!
Love reading? So do we! Reading daily is proven to reduce stress, boost empathy and cultivate curiosity, and that is a great way to ease into a brand new year.
This year we are introducing the 2024 Winter Reading Challenge - BINGO edition. The goal is to read as much as you can while completing as many prompts as possible on your bingo card. Complete a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line to earn a prize*. Need a bigger challenge – keep reading and complete the outside box or a full card for even more prizes*!
The challenge runs from January 1 to February 29, 2024.
*Terms and conditions apply. See our Contests and Lotteries Policy.
