This year’s reading challenge devised by our student and staff book clubs is to read 12 books in 12 months. But there’s twist – one must be from each of the 12 inspiring and illuminating categories below. You start with any category, and complete in any order for example, you might start by checking out the 200+ book reviews to find a one that appeals, then, once finished, read a book that is a film or tv series (that’s two out of 12 completed!). The book covers are suggestions only – click on the cover as some feature as reviews already.
Just be sure to collect (or download below) a GGS Reading Challenge 2024 tracking form from the library to keep track of your progress. Return it completed by the March 1st 2025 to be in for a chance to win one of two £25 book tokens.
Share your reading experience:
– share your current read by changing your personal profile icon on Office 365 to the book cover just like this:
– tell everyone you’ve taken on the challenge and encourage friends, peers and teachers to too
– write a review to let everyone know what you thought – simply email these to LRC@georgegreens.com and we’ll post it
We hope you enjoy this year’s reading challenge. Good luck!
