2025 CATHOLIC TEEN BOOKS
READING CHALLENGE
What goals have you set for 2025? Is reading one of them?
​
Have you considered trying a reading challenge? Participation in a reading challenge can make you accountable to your goals, encourage you to read outside your favorite genres and authors (broadening your appreciation of other styles and maybe discovering a new love), and it can connect you with a community if you do it with family/friends.
