The Massachusetts Center for the Book is launching its 2026 Reading Challenge with 12 monthly themed prompts, such as “A book about or set in winter” for January and “A book set in Massachusetts” for May. Participants who read a book each month are eligible for a year-end prize drawing.
To sign up for a January reminder and view all monthly categories, visit the registration page at massbook.org. Monthly submissions and the genre wheel are also available on the website.
