We’re three weeks into the 2024 Read Harder Challenge! How are you doing so far? Are you ahead of schedule or already panicking about being behind? I’m already so appreciating the updates and recommendations happening in the comments sections of these posts. I love discovering new books from you, and it’s helping keep me on track in my own reading!

I’d also love to hear your strategy for this year. Do you plan out all your picks for each task beforehand, or do you tackle one at a time? Maybe you have a few that you’re starting with and re-evaluating from there. Let’s compare notes!

So, let’s discuss in the comments: which tasks have you completed already, and which ones are you tackling next? And do you plan out your book for each task beforehand, or are you keeping it spontaneous?

Don’t forget to check out the Read Harder merch at the Book Riot Bonfire shop, including hoodies, shirts, mugs, tote bags, and more!

Here’s what I’ve been reading, plus a very pathetic photo of my dog Scrappy wearing the cone of shame:
