2022 Winter Reading Challenge: FAQ

25 Ways to find your next good book

FAQs

Do I have to do the challenges in order?

Nope. Feel free to tackle them in any order (or disorder) that suits you and only do as many as makes you happy.

 

When does the challenge end?

April 30th at midnight.

 

Who decides whether my submission counts?

We have librarians who evaluate submissions and communicate with participants. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, use the contact box. We are happy to listen and advise!

 

Does this book count?

When you think it does, use the "Why I chose this book?" section on the submission form to explain how it fits that particular challenge. Also check out the EXPLORE THE CHALLENGES and ADDITIONAL LINKS FOR FINDING A BOOK pages for guidance.

 

Is it my imagination or do I have to read more than one book for one challenge?

It is not your imagination! We have two "two book challenges"! In one you can pick any two books from the Reading Rainbow booklist -- all books featured on Reading Rainbow. The second is similar to challenges we had in the past, two related books but this time one must be fiction and the other nonfiction.

Do the books have to come from the library?

Nope. Nope. No. The books can come from a friend, the store, the library or anywhere. It can be in any format (poetry, play, prose, graphic novel) or medium (electronic, audio, physical book).
