Only 53 days left to complete both the 2021 Read Great Things Challenge and the 2021 Reading SPRINT!
While your SPRINT books don’t count towards your Read Great Things 2021 Challenge completion, you can definitely complete both challenges. Or just one. Or neither. Either way, you’re still welcome to come join us in December for our bookish celebration.
One of our favorite* categories in the 2021 Read Great Things Challenge is A book with pictures. Pictures are for everyone!
