2019 Reading Challenges and Readathons

In gathering up 2019 Reading Challenges to share on the @BXBrum Twitter account, I’ve realised I’ve found more than I ever thought I would, and that tweeting them individually would perhaps be confusing and laborious.  So I’ve decided to write a post to share them too. Please note that if links aren’t hyperlinks, it’s because I’ve not got access to the technology. I’m working on it. This IS a WIP.

I may change the order or format in due course, but I’m grouping similar challenges together, and then the others are in alphabetical order. If you know of any others, feel free to leave a link below.
