Good morning, readers! May is just around the corner, so it's time to share our next reading challenge. This month, we're challenging you to:
*Read a book by or about a journalist
*Read a book set in a city you want to visit
*Read a retelling of a classic or fairy tale

As always, readers are welcome to complete one or all of our challenges. No prizes will be awarded for completed challenges, but you will earn bragging rights as a super reader (and, of course, win our admiration). There's no time limit and no pressure, so you can pick and choose your favorite challenges from month-to-month -- or just read whatever you like! We just want to hear about all the amazing books you're reading this year.

Oh, and don't forget: A book can be either fiction or nonfiction, unless otherwise stated, and you can complete any of our listed tasks using Tennessee READS, books from your local library, or titles from your own collection. And, yes, audiobooks count! If you have any questions, you can reach out to us by leaving a comment or contacting us directly through messenger.

Happy reading! 🧳
