Reading Women 2019 Challenge

I absolutely loved the 2018 challenge and it inspired me to spend the majority of my reading hours and dollars on women writers, especially women of color. 2018 was a phenomenal year of reading (if for little else) and I know I'll need plenty of women's voices to get me through this year as well. Looking forward to discovering more incredible writers!


1. A mystery or thriller written by a woman of color
2. A book about a woman with mental illness
3. A book by an author from Nigeria or New Zealand
4. A book about or set in Appalachia
5. A children's book
6. A multigenerational family saga
7. A book featuring a woman in science
8. A play
9. A novella
10. A book about a woman athlete
11. A book featuring a religion other than your own
12. A Lambda Literary Award winner
13. A myth retelling
14. A translated book published before 1945
15. A book written by a South Asian author
16. A book by an Indigenous woman
17. A book from the 2018 Reading Women Award shortlist 
18. A romance or love story
19. A book about nature
20. A historical fiction book
21. A book you bought or borrowed in 2019
