Is there anything better than achieving a goal and enjoying your hobby at the same time. I created these challenges to try to encourage people to have a reading-filled holiday season as well as to try.

These challenges are not just about reading books, you can read any piece of literature, books, short stories, plays and poetry!

Try something new this festive season!

These challenges are adaptable for busy lifestyles to make them adaptable for you!

Final Thoughts

While completing a challenge this Christmas season is by no means necessary, it can be very satisfying to achieve one last goal before the end of the year.
