Happy New Year! As we head into 2024, I want to share a fun reading challenge for the next 12 months 🙂
This challenge is themed around and complements my book, The Year of You for Creatives: 365 Journal Writing Prompts for Doing Your Best Work, but you will still get a lot out of this challenge even if you aren’t following the prompts.
Below you’ll find two versions of a list you can download and check off as you complete each month’s theme: one for digital use and one for printing. I’ve also added a new book review PDF to the Becoming Who You Are Library that you can use to organise your thoughts, favourite quotes, and takeaways from each book.
I’m aiming to read one book from this list per month because my number one reading goal for this year is to get back into reading… fiction! I don’t think I’ve consistently read fiction since I finished my literature degree back in 2009, so it’s been a minute. But I’m doing a lot of heavy reading for my psychology course and want something to balance it out. I would love to see what you’re reading too, so please tag me on Instagram (@hannahbraime) if you feel inclined to share!
Here are the themes for each month:
January: Creative Identity
February: Health and Self-Care
March: Working Environment
April: Time and Energy
May: Community and Support
June: Daily Routine
July: Mindset
August: The Past
September: Growth and Learning
October: Money
November: Life Outside Your Creative Work
December: Reflection and Planning
Here’s a digital tracker and a plain background tracker for printing
I hope you enjoy this reading challenge!
