How the challenge works (from massbook.org):

Choose a book that fits the monthly challenge.

After you read, fill out this form to tell us about the book.

Using our submission manager, you will be able to log in and access the entries you’ve logged throughout the year.

Dedicated readers will be invited to a year-end celebration hosted by Mass Center for the Book.
-
We will be drawing two names on the last day of each month to win a free book! Make sure you get those entries in before the end of the month.
