Read the Year with Penguin

With the new year, it’s natural to think about reading resolutions – whether it’s to try a new author or genre, get started with a classic you’ve been meaning to read or finally pick up those books on your to-be-read pile.

Whatever your resolutions, our Read the Year challenge is all about trying something new. From starting the year with a book about new beginnings in January through to getting stuck into a story that embodies the festive spirit in December via strong female characters, world (or space!) travel and more, we hope this challenge will inspire you to see the world from a new perspective.
