Because reading is fun!
Not a good enough reason? We also have prizes!
Weekly Prizes
- eBook Giveaways: Every week, there’s an eBook giveaway for the featured category. The prize is a collection of all the eBooks that have been generously donated by authors and publishers for that category. There is one lucky winner per drawing per week! The most recent giveaway posts can always be found at the top of this page. You can enter every week and can win multiple times during the year.
- Facebook contests: Throughout the week, check our Facebook Reader Forum for games and prizes hosted by authors who have books in featured challenge categories.
Monthly $25 Amazon gift Card giveaways:
Each Wednesday, look for our What Are You Reading post on Facebook and Patreon. This year, these are the only two places where we will be posting the check-ins. This means, if you were entering on Instagram, Twitter, or Goodreads in the past you’ll need to join either Facebook or Patreon. You can join our Patreon as a free member.
If you’re not a fast reader, and it takes you more than a week to read a book, that’s fine, too. As long as you reply to the new post the following week (or weeks) to say you are still reading that book, we will count it as a new entry toward the monthly drawing.
If you don’t like Facebook or Patreon, no problem. You’re more than welcome to email us your info. Please send an email to [email protected], put “Monthly IHS Reading Challenge Giveaway” in the subject line, and tell us the name of the book and the category. Just like the Facebook and Patreon peeps, you can enter once per week. All entries for the drawing will need to be received by midnight Eastern Time on the last day of the month to qualify. Entries received after that will roll over to the next month’s drawing.
You cannot enter on Facebook, Patreon, and via email to triple your chances. Let’s keep this fair, peeps! We’ll assign a number to every entry we receive, and then we’ll use a random number selector to choose the winner.
You’re eligible to win multiple months so keep entering every week.
End of the Year Prizes
One of the big changes from last year’s challenge is there won’t be levels. This means even if you only read one book in 2025, you have a chance of winning one of three $100 Amazon gift cards. That’s right, we’re giving away $300 just for reading books. Please note, you can only win one of the $100 gift cards.
A couple final notes:
E-book prizes will be fulfilled directly by the author or publisher. We will do our best to encourage them to get your prize to you, but we do not physically have the e-books to send ourselves. Ultimately, it is the author or publisher’s responsibility to provide the promised prize.
Gift card amounts are in US dollars. If you are not in the US Amazon store, we will send you an equivalent amount in the currency of your local Amazon marketplace.
