Take the PML 18:12 Reading Challenge!

18 Books in 12 Months

We've compiled a list of 18 reading prompts to help you get out of your reading box and read something new. Consider this an opportunity to discover new genres, topics, and titles. We're challenging you to read from the 18 categories before the end of 2026.

 

It's easy to participate

- Follow along on your own or  print and complete the 18:12 worksheet and complete the list, one book at a time. You can complete the prompts in any order.

- Complete raffle tickets as you go. (Details below)

- It's more fun if you join the community of PML 18:12 readers to get in on the conversation, exchange ideas, and see what others are reading. (Details below)

 

Join the PML 18:12 Community:

See what others are reading, exchange ideas on what to read next, and share your progress. There are two ways to participate in the conversation. Join one or both! We're happy to have you.
