The Cool Table Book Challenge 2020
We are kicking off the decade with our first annual The Cool Table Book Challenge. The authors at TCT have compiled a list of book ideas that should get you out of any book rut and into a good book glut.
“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.” – Lemony Snicket
The Book Challenge 2020 is a nice mix of potential topics, from unsparing to easy-breezy beautiful Cover Girl. We will be checking in throughout the year to see how you — and we — are doing. Good luck!
You can download a printable PDF of the TCT Book Challenge right here! Hang it on your fridge, put it on your vision board, tape it to your nightstand, paste it in the cover of your iPad.
