2021 RWL Reading Challenges - Reading Deliberately & For Fun

Reading should always be a challenge but never a chore. After the year we had in 2020, we decided to scale our 2021 reading challenge into two small 6-book challenges that will inspire you to enjoy the books you read while expanding your worldview.

If you want to join a community of fellow readers and share your challenge progress, check out the Read Deliberately and the Read Widely Storygraph challenges. You can also use the #RebelWomenLit hashtag all over social media to share your books and each post enters gives you an opportunity to win a monthly prize from our book(ish) store.
