Welcome to the 2024 Read Another Page Reading Challenge!
What would a blog with a title like Read Another Page be without reading challenges?
I don’t know about you, but reading challenges have made me read many more books than I usually do. And some are even ones I wouldn’t have picked up otherwise. So let’s challenge ourselves with some reading this year! This will be the 7th year I’ve hosted a reading challenge on my blog. And each year has been different. This year is no exception. Are you ready to join? I’m going things a little differently this year. Reading books is the same. And yes, you can count audio books if you actually listen to it and are not just playing it in the background while you do school, have conversations with others or walk in and out of the room.
The biggest change is reviews. I’ve realized that for a review to do any good it needs to be in a public place. So, for reviews to count you MUST review a book on Goodreads or a bookseller’s site. This can include an author’s website if they have a place to leave a comment under a book. These can be places like Amazon, Light of Faith, Book Bub, or other sites. You do not HAVE to review a book.
But before I give you the list, here are the rules. (Yes, we have rules.)
- These books may be read in any order. You do NOT have to start at the top and read down.
- You may count any books you read for this challenge for other challenges if you wish.
- In order for your books to count, they must be read in 2024 between January 1 and June 30.
- All books must be at least a few chapters in length. (Even two or three chapters, but they must have chapters!)
- This challenge starts January 1st, and ends June 30th 2024. Any books read during that time that fit the list can count.
Also, if you get anyone else to join the challenge and read at least 2 books, you get a bonus point.
Let’s get started!
To sign up simply send me an email (or message me somewhere) and let me know you’re joining. I’ll add your name to the Reading Companions page. (You can use the Contact form if you do not already have my email address.)
When you’ve read a book (or more than one if you’d rather) comment on this 2024 Reading Challenge Page, and I’ll mark you down for those books. Please make sure you let me know which # the book was read for so I can mark it in the right place.
If you have been a part of my reading challenges last year, you will notice that I once again have a page to share all the covers of all the books that are read during this challenge. I’ve created a google doc for you to add your own covers and links to your reviews. You can find that HERE.
Ready for that list yet? You can download a special pdf list with all the categories, spaces for titles, where you reviewed each book and even stars to mark your ratings right HERE.

8. Woman/girl on the cover: Hazelby Priors by Courtenay Burden
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6163354207
readanotherpage says
Yay! It’s working!
Chloe says
Here’s my first set! I’ve typed reviews, too, but I’ll figure how I’ll need to post them later and let you know which ones I do. How do I add book reviews on Light of Faith?
3. Footprints in the Barn by Mr and Mrs. Castleberry
6. Finding Home by Rebekah Morris
9. Beloved presented by HaYovel
16. Beyond Comfort by Rebekah Morris
Chloe says
Sorry…I’m having trouble adding my photos to the google doc page. It’s not wanting to take my converted jpg photo. Ideas?
readanotherpage says
I think you’ll have to just copy and paste cover images from Goodreads or some other site into the google doc. You don’t have to have an account on Goodreads to find books on there.
readanotherpage says
Great job, Chloe!
I don’t know if you have to have an account or not on there. I know some people have reviewed books on there before, but I haven’t.
Chloe says
Okay, thanks!! Yes, I’m pretty sure we have an account with Light of Faith.
I’ll see about adding covers next week. 🙂
Lyds says
3. A book in a series – Stephen by Rebekah A. Morris
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3623770887
I’ve still only read those two books all year XD Other than a long Dickens which I’m not even halfway through yet, and I don’t think I can count it for this challenge anyway since I didn’t start it this year 😀
But I’m getting caught up on all my ARCs before I let myself start anything new! XD
readanotherpage says
Two is better than none! And getting ARCs read is a good thing too. 🙂
Lyds says
That’s true! 😀
Well, I’ve read them all, but I’m just several months overdue with the reviews. 🙈
readanotherpage says
Dear me! Get those things written!
Lyds says
: D
With a little help, I did! 😜

Hmm, I already have you marked for #24. I don’t have you marked for $19 or #20. Did you mean these to be #20 (non-fiction) and #22 (biography)?
Angie Thompson says
Ugh, sorry, yes, that’s what I meant. 😝 Got my numbers mixed up. By my count, #19 is all I have left after this.

CutePolarBear says
I don’t have a big list of completed books, but I have a couple completed:
7. Takes place during a war – Unwilling Warrior by Andrea Boeshaar; review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6145403638
15. Mystery – Ladies’ Bane by Patricia Wentworth; review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6145400785
And a question about #3 and 4: do these books have to be in the same series, and one after another (e.g. book 3 after book 2, instead of book 5 after book 3)?
CutePolarBear/Hanna
readanotherpage says
Progress is progress no matter the size. 🙂
To answer your question, no, the books do NOT have to be in the same series. #3 could be book 1 in a series, while #4 needs to be a book that isn’t the first book. Some people were saying they struggled with actually reading the next book in a series even if they liked the first one.
CutePolarBear says
Okay, thanks! Yes, I have found that since I read books we own, series aren’t always complete, and I just skip around. 😉
readanotherpage says
There’s that too. 😀
Lyds says
Me scrolling through comments and seeing everyone else do half the challenge in one go 😳 XD
Uh… I’ve come to report my third book finished?
😛

I was excited to see your new Graham Quartet book!

Good job, Chloe!

I’m finally back!! Fallen so far behind… but hopefully with all the ARCs and betas this month I’ll be able to get a few more done in the next couple weeks!
I was so excited when I realised this category existed… I was trying to find something to fit this book into, and it couldn’t be more perfect! XD Especially as I was struggling to think of a book to fit it before.
