THE RULES
Simple rules, no stress
- One book ticks one prompt. That keeps the list interesting all year.
- Any order works. You can do a summer prompt in February.
- Every format counts: paper, ebook and audiobook.
- A book you gave up on still counts if you read at least half.
- There’s no penalty for not finishing. Twenty prompts is a great year too.
Too much? Try the light version: 12 prompts
Pick one prompt a month from the list. That’s roughly a book every four weeks, or about 10 pages a day. The reading goal calculator works out the exact number at your pace.

Do the challenge as a group: everyone follows their own list, and once a week you compare how many prompts you’ve ticked. In Talemi you can also set up a shared challenge on pages, books, minutes or days in a row.
