Popsugar Entertainment Popsugar Challenges Take the 2020 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge Find a Cosy Nook, Book-Lovers — the 2020 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge Is Here! 31 December 2019 by Tara Block Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography It's the most wonderful time of the year . . . and no, we're not talking about that time of the year. Sorry Santa, but the sixth annual POPSUGAR Reading Challenge has landed, and the only list we're checking twice is our 2020 book list! We're not even going to try to play it cool. This year's reading challenge is about to up your 2020 reading game in a big way, and we can't wait to share our 50 new book prompts with all of you. In addition to the 40 standard book challenge prompts, we're bringing back the 10 "advanced" prompts for those bibliophiles out there looking for something extra. Are you ready for a plot twist? This year, the advanced section is all 2020-themed, from "a book set in Japan, host of the 2020 Olympics" to "a book with a character with a vision impairment or enhancement (a nod to 20/20 vision)." Another way the 2020 reading challenge is better than ever is that we now have an exclusive POPSUGAR Book Club on Facebook! Join this well-read community of POPSUGAR editors and fellow readers from around the world to swap reading recs for the challenge, reach out when you're stumped on a prompt, share bullet-journaling ideas, or just chat about the latest page-turner you're obsessed with. In fact, one of the prompts is "a book recommended by your favourite blog, vlog, podcast, or online book club," and our members are already sharing their reading recommendations in the group! We hope this year's challenge broadens your horizons and reboots your love of reading in 2020, maybe even pushing you to read something you never would have picked up before purely based on the "a book you picked up because the title caught your attention" or "a book with a great first line" prompts. Who knows, you may uncover a new favourite genre like bildungsroman, get a fresh perspective from "a book by a trans or nonbinary author," learn something about "a subject you know nothing about," or be transported to "a country beginning with 'C'" that you've always wanted to visit. Whatever path you take in 2020, we've said it before, and we'll say it again: the point of the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge is to have fun! So who's ready to get started? Download our printable list here, checking off the books as you go, and pin the handy graphic ahead for reference. Share your progress on Instagram with #popsugarreadingchallenge. If you're looking for an easy way to digitally track and rate the books you've read for the challenge, we'd suggest also joining this Goodreads group made up of readers who participate in the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge every year. — Additional reporting by Lilli Boice 2020 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography 1 / 291 Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography 2 / 291 A book that's published in 2020 Image Source: amazon.com American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins (out Jan. 21) 3 / 291 A book that's published in 2020 Image Source: amazon.com A Beginning at the End by Mike Chen (out Jan. 14) 4 / 291 A book that's published in 2020 Image Source: amazon.com The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel (out April 30) 5 / 291 A book that's published in 2020 Image Source: amazon.com A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende (out Jan. 21) 6 / 291 A book that's published in 2020 Image Source: amazon.com Writers & Lovers by Lily King (out March 3) 7 / 291 Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography 8 / 291 A book by a trans or nonbinary author Image Source: amazon.com Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg 9 / 291 A book by a trans or nonbinary author Image Source: amazon.com All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders 10 / 291 A book by a trans or nonbinary author Image Source: amazon.com Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi 11 / 291 A book by a trans or nonbinary author Image Source: amazon.com Lord of the Butterflies by Andrea Gibson 12 / 291 A book by a trans or nonbinary author Image Source: amazon.com Don't Call Us Dead by Danez Smith 13 / 291 Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography 14 / 291 A book with a great first line Image Source: amazon.com The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh First line: "Once we had a father, but our father dies without us noticing." 15 / 291 A book with a great first line Image Source: amazon.com Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides First line: "I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960;
