This past year I set a goal of reading 40 books. I finished 39, and I am working on my 40th book. I really enjoyed the challenge, but this year I want to do something a little different.

Most of us have a specific genre we enjoy reading and stick to those books only. As we begin a new year I want to challenge you (and me) to do something a little different. This year I want us to push to read different books: Non-fiction, graphic novels, fiction, and classics .

This years challenge:

• A book becoming a movie in 2019
• A graphic novel
• A Newbery Award Winner.
• A book recommended by a friend
• A novel based upon a true story
• A book by an author of a different ethnicity than you.
• A book about a person with a superpower.
• A book from the 2018/19 Battle of the Book list.
• A book written before you were born.
• A book about a topic that you find interesting
• An author who uses initials
• A book by two authors
• A book by an author from or lives in North Carolina.
• A book made into a movie that you have already seen.
• The next book in series you have read.
• A classic

Keep up with your books as you read. If you complete the challenge you will win a prize from the media center.
