Saturating 2024 with Good Books: Reading Challenge ‘24

Zachary Peatling

This year I’m undertaking a reading challenge. I did this last year and it was a fun opportunity to keep myself accountable in my reading habits, and to stretch the boundaries of what I would normally read. 

The challenge is to complete twelve books of differing genres in 2024. This is not an exhaustive list of what I might read throughout the year, and, if you were to join me in it, the list shouldn’t become a constraining force for your reading. If anything, it should serve as a starting point, a launching pad for reading as many books, of as many genres, as you can. 

2024 is the year of opportunity, reading is a way to go about seizing the opportunities, or, in fact, creating some. 

If you’d like to join me in this challenge, you can find the list of categories below, and a downloadable PDF you can use to help you keep track! 

The plan is to saturate 2024 with good books. Let’s get to it. 

  1. A Poetry Collection
  2. A Murder Mystery
  3. A Classic (whatever genre, style or era)
  4. A Book about Spies
  5. History (fiction or non-fiction)
  6. Autobiography or Biography
  7. A Book about Health and Wellbeing
  8. A Book about Work and Creativity
  9. A Children’s Book
  10. A Book about Theology/Religion
  11. A Book set in a Different Country
  12. A Book Originally in a Foreign Language
