Are you looking to read more diversely and travel via a good book or two? And, are you craving a low-key online community and manageable 2021 reading challenge?
Take our Uncorked Reading Challenge 2021 for book lovers and wanderlusters. This reading challenge has 12 themes — one for each month — with books to inspire travel, inspirational fiction and nonfiction, and diverse, international reads. Book suggestions will be both heavy and fluffy.
Read as much or as little as you like each month within the theme, skip a month if you need, and grab book ideas for each theme in our newsletter and Facebook Group, Uncorked Readers.
This year, we will also have quarterly group reads where we vote on a book to read and discuss the title in our Facebook group. This past fall, we read The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell.

Awesome challenge! I’ll definitely be participating!
Thank you, and welcome! I’m excited for a year of fabulous reading.
I didn’t post really last year but followed along and did the reading challenge! I’m so excited for this year!!! I’ve read some great books that i might not have heard about or considered.
Thank you so much for participating last year and joining our 2021 reading challenge. I’m excited for this year, too. I loved everyone’s reading challenge theme suggestions.
I love Book of the Month! Thanks for this challenge. This month I picked The Survivors. Because I am in the mood for thrillers my add ons were The Broken Girls and Goodnight Beautiful!
Book of the Month has been great! I am waiting for Goodnight Beautiful from the library. This past month, I selected The Removed, which incorporated Cherokee folklore.
Wow! Reading Challenge. But I before reach your post, I saw an article about audiobooks. This time I have a question for this topic. Which is the best for me Book reading or Listening to audible books.
Hey Charles, I think both can be great. If you have long commutes or take road trips, audiobooks are fantastic. Audiobooks are also great for chores and cooking — podcasts, too. If you like to read before bed or take a book with you to appointments, physical books are nice.
This is a great challenge! Little late, but joining in!
Thanks so much! Welcome!
