You know what it is HIGH time for? A Forever Young Adult reading challenge! I mean, why haven’t we done this before?! We know you guys are out there reading YA (all kinds), but have you ever wanted to branch out a bit and try something new? Here at FYA HQ, we put our heads together to come up with twelve prompts to help you read a book each month that (hopefully) feels new to you.

We’ll be updating every month with recommendations for books from each challenge, as well as touching base with readers over on Instagram, so be sure to follow us there. Luckily for you, our spiffy new(ish) website has lots of search and organization features that will make it super easy for you to find books for each challenge. Now, without further ado…to the prompts!
