Written Magazine's 30 Books in 90 Days® is a personal reading challenge for adults. This year  we are adding a scavenger hunt to spice things up. You can follow the suggestions of the books in the hunt and add books of your choosing or do 30 on your own, or do a mixture of the two. We are easy about the rules, as long as you are reading. Log books from the challenge at www.writtenmag.com and join the conversation on our FB page https://www.facebook.com/30BooksIn90Days *titles can only be used once and cannot be used for multiple categories.

Community Voices: It’s time to challenge yourself to read more

Veronica Fields Johnson

Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. From making bookstore purchases and browsing library shelves to swapping books at the used book store or with friends, I was surrounded by stories during my childhood. I’ve remained an avid reader, and while I don’t always get to read the number of books that I’d like, I do keep a list of must reads.

For other readers who have long book lists, here’s a chance to reignite that passion.

Written magazine, in coordination with the Hammonds House Museum in the West End, is sponsoring a 30-Books-in-90-Days challenge. Scheduled to begin in June with the Summer Soiree kickoff event at the museum, the reading challenge is free and open to the public.

Michelle Gipson, founder and publisher of Written magazine, created the initiative a way to “encourage people to take a moment away from the hustle and bustle of summer.”
