Participate in the Helmet reading challenge 2021

Helmet Reading Challenge encourages people to pick up a book. The challenge consists of 50 themes that the participants can use to pick something to read throughout the year.

The themes can be related to the topic, name or author of a book. The themes are not strict rules, however. Instead, each participant can decide how they wish to interpret them. This year, the Helmet Reading Challenge is also available in a plain language version.
