Bettie's Pages Challenge Your Shelf

Starts: Tuesday, 03 January 2023

Ends: Sunday, 31 December 2023

Welcome to the second annual Bettie's Pages Reading Challenge! This year's theme is

Reagan Ruined Everything.

For year 2 of #ChallengeYourShelf we will be digging deep into specific topics that relate to a singular theme… shit that Ronald Reagan ruined! That’s right, Bettie’s Pages least favorite President will be getting roasted all year long!

We’re changing things up a bit this year too: we’ll have all 12 months recommendations listed as soon as possible. The recommendations for the first quarter of the year are up and the remaining months will be soon to follow.

For each month you complete you’ll get a sticker to celebrate! Complete all 12 months and you’ll unlock the opportunity to get exclusive merch!

Each month we’ll share the historical context for each topic and links of interest in our newsletter and on social media. I’m so excited to be on this journey again and hope you learn lots!
