Make a warm drink, cozy up under a blanket and grab a good book, the Winter Reading Challenge is back.

Unlike our signature summer program for kids, this one is for the grown ups. And because everybody likes a reward now and then, we have prizes.

The 2025 Winter Reading Challenge returns Jan. 1!

All you have to do is read!

All your Winter Reading can be recorded in our Beanstack app, available for free in your device’s app store. If your child already has a Beanstack account, you’ll need to create a separate one just for yourself. You’ll see your progress and use the app to submit your book reviews and get entered to win.

Not sure what to read or want something new? Check out our MatchBook service! (And pick it up at curbside! Or have it delivered to your door!)

Earn badges and extra entries by completing challenges, such as reading a recommended book. Any book review submitted is an entry for a prize.

Wait, did you say prizes?

Yes!

We’re giving away prizes weekly this year!
