4. Read and share
You can read anything you like for Read October, but we have created a reading list if you are looking for inspiration. Be sure to share your progress on social media with hashtag #ReadOctober. You can also track your progress using our reading log. Each book you read will help us reach our goal of reading 2022 books during October!
