Our annual, free, downloadable PDF Summer Reading Guide has been a smashing success over the past three years. After receiving numerous requests, we are happy to host The 2024 Summer Reading Challenge now!
The 2024 Summer Reading Challenge for Adults
What is the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge?
The 2024 Summer Reading Challenge is designed to help adults challenge themselves and get the most out of their summer reading! We’ve created a summer reading challenge with five prompts that you can follow in chronological order or mix and match as you see fit.
The goal is to read five books this summer, one for each prompt. You should also read them during the three summer months of June, July, and August.
How does the Summer Reading Challenge work?
Participants are encouraged to read five books over the summer period (June, July, and August) and read one book for each prompt. Once a book has been read, participants are encouraged to share their reading experience on social media using the hashtag #BiblioLifestyleChallenge or download and share our reading challenge graphic!
What day does the Summer Reading Challenge start?
The Summer Reading Challenge will begin on Saturday, June 1st, 2024.
Technically the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere is Thursday, June 20th, but we like to start our summer reading early.
Plus, our annual, free, downloadable PDF Summer Reading Guide is usually available on the last Friday in May. That is just before Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial beginning of summer in the United States.
What day does the Summer Reading Challenge end?
The Summer Reading Challenge will end on Saturday, August 31st, 2024.
What is the Summer Reading Challenge 2024 theme?
The theme for the BiblioLifestyle 2024 Summer Reading Challenge is — “Read and Relax This Summer.” We want to help you make the most of your summer reading by providing prompts that will allow you to escape, unwind, and discover new stories!

How do you start reading in the summer?
It’s easy! Join us for the Summer Reading Challenge, prepare your reading list, and schedule some time to read. There is no right or wrong way to participate in the summer challenge – just read one book for each prompt and have fun with it!
If you are new to reading in the summer or just starting a reading habit, I recommend getting started by taking our What’s Your Reader Type? Quiz. This quiz will help you get clear on where you are right now in your reading journey and, based on your reader type, provide you with the resources you need to start reading, maintain the habit, and get intentional.
By taking the quiz, you will learn more about joining like-minded readers on our BiblioLifestyle online community and getting more tips and recommendations.
