FFL’s 2021 Reading Challenge

It’s that time of year again! 

Time to promote literacy, read some great books, and complete the FFL reading challenge. For the past few years, FFL has published a reading challenge of 10 prompts to encourage our readers to unite together in our love of great books and expand their own reading horizons. Each prompt is broad enough to allow the individual a chance to read a book they may already own or prefer, but also specific enough to show what we are trying to achieve. 

Books are an amazing gateway. Reading a book is like entering a new world–you can learn a new skill, learn to empathize with people, learn new words and ways of thinking, etc. With that in mind, we proudly present the 2021 FFL Reading Challenge which is designed to stretch your reading horizons, expand your experiences, and make you a well-rounded conservative because no one wants to be that person who only focuses on one thing forever. 

By completing this genre, you’ll read the books we at FFL have loved and picked to feature, sample new genres, celebrate female authors, explore the US presidency, figure out if you can judge a book by its cover, go back in time in more ways than one, and hopefully find a new book that really speaks to your soul!

Happy reading! Tweet us what you’re reading throughout the year with #FFLReadingChallenge or use the hashtag on Instagram. Be sure to join us in the Official FFL Book Club on Facebook to find some help in completing the challenge.
