Hosted by Angel’s Guilty Pleasures & Books of My Heart, this is a favorite challenge. I love libraries and so many of the books I read are sourced by them. This will be my fourth year participating in the challenge and I’m signing up for Library Addict (48 books) since I did at least that in 2021.
Details
- Runs from January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022.
- You can join anytime.
- The sign-up will remain open until Dec. 31, 2022.
- The goal is to find your love of your local library and to read at least twelve (12) books from the library, but you can read more. While twelve is the minimum; there is no maximum limit. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you.
- Any format will work for this challenge (prints, ebooks, or audios); as long as you checked it out from the library, it counts.
- A quarterly Email is being offered, dedicated to the library love challenge, focusing on the quarterly posts. Everyone who signs up will get a confirmation email. You can unsubscribe at any time, including after the signing-up.
- You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads, Facebook, LibraryThing, etc.
- If you’re a blogger grab the button and do a quick post about the challenge to help spread the word. If you’re not a blogger you can help by posting on Facebook or Tweet about the challenge. Please link back to both hosts: Angel’s Guilty Pleasures & Books of My Heart.
- Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).
- Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads.
- As an added bonus, we’re offering up FOUR GIVEAWAYS plus a few surprise giveaways throughout the year (2022) with this Challenge. The main giveaways will be posted for (Jan., Feb., & March), (April, May, & June), (July, Aug., & Sept.), & last (Oct., Nov., & Dec.). A linky will go up on both Angel’s Guilty Pleasures and Books of My Heart; where you can leave your links for the reviews on your library books you have read.
- Write a review to enter the giveaway – 2 sentences or an essay, whatever works for you, but there is a minimum of 2 sentences. Not sure what to write? How about something like, “The plot was a delight, but the characters didn’t capture me.” “I enjoyed the story and really liked the characters.”
- Please use #LibraryLoveChallenge when sharing your reviews, library pictures, etc

I signed up this year, but stopped recording once I reached over 60 books. I also didn’t tag my reviews. I need to do better this year. I love my library and use it all the time.

I don’t even think about the tagging as it’s now second nature when I’m setting up posts. And, I add the books here for tracking.

Congratulations on your 48 books Jo and good luck for next year’s challenge! I get loads of books out from the library but end up sending them back unread because I run out of time! 😂

Thanks, Nicki💜 My goal was boosted because of two series group reads where all of the books were available at the library (Lucy Kincaid & Kate Burkholder).
