Read Harder 2019 Challenge


I finished the 2018 Read Harder Challenge and am on board for another year of exploring outside my comfort zone. As I'm also doing the Reading Women Challenge, I'll focus on women writers (with the exception of books I already own). I'm playing around with the idea of completing the prompts in numerical reader, but library availability may throw a monkey wrench in that plan. We shall see, I suppose.


1. An epistolary novel or collection of letters
2. An alternate history novel
3. A book by a woman and/or AOC that won a literary award in 2018
4. A humor book
5. A book by a journalist or about journalism
6. A book by an AOC set in or about space
7. An #ownvoices book set in Mexico or Central America
8. An #ownvoices book set in Oceania
9. A book published prior to Jan. 1, 2019 with fewer than 100 reviews on Goodreads
10. A translated book written by and/or translated by a woman
11. A book of manga
12. A book in which an animal or inanimate object is a point-of-view character
13. A book by or about someone who identifies as neurodiverse
14. A cozy mystery 
15. A book of mythology or folklore
16. A historical romance by an AOC
17. A business book
18. A novel by a trans or nonbinary author
19. A book of nonviolent true crime
20. A book written in prison
21. A comic by an LGBTQIA creator
22. A children's or middle grade book (not YA) that has won a diversity award since 2009
