Hosted by Angel’s Book Nook & 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 sixth year participating in the challenge and I’m signing up for Overdrive Junkie (36 books) since I came close to that in 2023.
Details
- Runs from January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024.
- You can join anytime.
- The sign-up will remain open until Dec. 31, 2024.
- 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.
- Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).
- Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads.
- 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, Tweet, or Instagram about the challenge. Please link back to both hosts: Angel’s Book Nook & Books of My Heart
- As an added bonus: We’re offering up a GIVEAWAY with this Challenge. Winner will be picked at the end of the year!! There are a few freebie entries just for signing up to join the challenge and then the main entries throughout the year will be the direct links to your book reviews. You will have until Jan. 4th, 2025 to enter your reviews in the Linky/Rafflecopter.
- 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.

You’re welcome, Carol💜 So am I! I tag them when I’m preparing the post and link them as soon as they publish. It’s become routine or otherwise I wouldn’t remember either.

Good Luck Jo. I am going to participate this year and am also going for Overdrive Junkie. I agree with Carol, remembering to link my reviews is the hardest thing for me to remember.
