January Reading Challenge

Each month we are 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. Start with this months challenge below.

When you are done a book, tell us about what you read by submitting a book review. Submitted reviews may be featured on the Killingly Reads blog and KPL social media pages. Your review could help other readers find their next great read!
