The 2022 Challenge: Goodreads Lists

Did you know that The 52 Book Club has a dedicated Goodreads group? This is a great spot to share your reads and recommendations, and to find books too! We also have a Goodreads List for EACH of the 2022 prompts. (Huge thanks to our admin, Lindsey for that!) To help you easily find the links for each prompt, we’ve compiled a list below!

Have a question about a specific prompt? Don’t forget to check out our 2022 Reading Challenge Guide too!

How do the Goodreads lists work?

• Each of our 52 prompts has a designated Goodreads list. This is a great resource if you’re looking for ideas for a specific prompt!

• Anyone can add to these lists! Share your best suggestions for each prompt — as many as you’d like!
