You might want to join us as an individual reader, looking to kick-start a reading habit or get out of a reading rut. Or perhaps you would like to join us as part of a reading group? Our challenge prompts are suitable for readers of any age, so why not take on the challenge as a family? However you choose to be involved, everyone is welcome.

You can join at any time, and don’t worry if you miss a month or join us later in the year. It’s the taking part that counts!
