As we ring in the new year with fresh goals, we’re reminding readers of all ages that reading is not only rewarding—it’s fun. Participants can earn badges by logging reading, completing activities, writing reviews, and scoring bingo. Kick off 2026 with us and get ready for an unforgettable reading adventure!
