2024 Dymocks Reading Challenge Introduction

A pale green background with a sketched arm and hand holding a tray with two green rectangles that say Dymocks Reading Challenge Book Tasting Menu on the tray with a list of prompts and pictures of food and drink. Text at the very top says Jan-Mar in the middle with 20 and 24 either side. Dark Green text next to the tray image says Dymocks Reading Challenge: Book Tasting Menu. The bottom panels say Entree and Savour the magic of fresh stories as you begin your journey to read more in '24. Save room for Main and Dessert to come.

It is that time of year again – I have started my reading challenges, and I am doing the Dymocks one again. This time, they have called it a Book Tasting Menu and divided into three menus. The first part, which takes place during January to March is the entrée – and these look like really interesting challenge prompts to take on. I think I can fill in all of them quite easily with books I have, and I like that they have a sense of flexibility to them, because there are lots of ways people can interpret them or fit a book into them. I am looking forward to taking on  this challenge this year again.
