The theme of each month differs to include genres that readers may have never experienced before, including books that celebrate diversity, a children’s classic, and a book with a local connection.

Alongside the enjoyment of reading for pleasure — which is a great way to look after your mental health and wellbeing — participants can also share their love of books with other challenge members by emailing book reviews and recommendations to [email protected], joining a dedicated Facebook group or tweeting @WSCCLibraries using the hashtag #ChiReadingChallenge.
