Adding extra flavor to reading with a reading challenge!

When it’s time to challenge your reading habits, you can seek inspiration and add extra flavor to your reading with various challenges. One of the most well-known is the annual reading challenge published by the Helmet libraries, which many book bloggers, Instagrammers, and TikTokers participate in.

Here at Akateeminen, we also want to encourage reading different kinds of books. You can participate in the challenge on social media or even from the comfort of your own couch! Can you complete all the categories in 2023?A book set in the summer
