Please join us this year for our 2024 Owly Summer Reading Challenge! It's open to kids and adults with prizes for finishing 5, 10, and 15 books, taking place from June 15th until August 15th. Earn a bronze, silver, or gold prize by completing themed challenges to help diversify your reading, get out of your reading comfort zone, and have an amazing book-filled summer!

Physical challenge sheets may be picked up at Bards Alley any time between June 15th and August 15th, or you can print one at home by clicking here and downloading the pdf version of our reading challenge sheet. Track your reading for prizes:
  • Win BRONZE by completing 1 challenge from each of the 5 rings and you'll receive a free advanced reader copy (ARC) of your choice from what is available at Bards Alley.
  • Win SILVER by completing 2 challenges from each ring and you'll get a Bards Alley gift card for $5 to go toward your next purchase with us.
  • Win GOLD by completing all 3 challenges within each ring to get a coupon for 15% off your next entire purchase at Bards Alley.

The challenge will begin on June 15th and end on August 15th - you have two months to read as many books as you can! However many books you read this summer, we hope you have a blast doing it. Don't forget to tag us @bardsalley on social media as you work through your reading challenges!

Check out staff picks, book recommendations, summer reads, and more all on our Bookshop.org profile if you need suggestions or inspiration for your next read (or head on over to bookshop.org/shop/bardsalley)!
