The Challenge!

Each month we're challenging you to read a book, or many, that fit a plethora of different criteria. From books with blue covers, to books of a certain genre, you're guaranteed to discover engaging works outside of your typical genre. Then we want you to tell us about it by filling out a book review here! Submitted reviews may be featured on the Killingly Reads blog and/or KPL social media pages and could help other Killingly Readers find their next great read! Start with this months challenge below!
