We’re already approaching the end of the second week of January, which means that if my math is correct, we should all be finished or almost finished one Read Harder task to keep on track. Eep!

Luckily, you’re not in this alone. We have this amazing community to trade recommendations with and to cheer each other on. So let me know in the comments: how are you doing in the Read Harder Challenge so far? Have you finished one task (or more!) already? Are there any tasks you’d like help with? Also, how did your 2023 Read Harder Challenge go? Did you participate last year? Did you finish it?

And finally, regardless of whether they have anything to do with the challenge, I want to know: What are you reading this week? Have you finished any books yet this year? Let’s chat in the comments!

Oh, and I wanted to mention that we have some new Read Harder merch! Check it out at the Book Riot Bonfire shop.

an image that says "Get Read Harder mech!" with photos of shirts, hoodies, mugs, hats, and tote bags with the text Read Harder on them.

Here’s what I’ve been reading (plus a cute picture of my dog Scrappy, as promised):
