30x30 Adult Reading Challenge

Read 30 minutes a day for all 30 days in November, and you’ll be eligible to win one of 30 free gift cards for pizza!

No matter whether you read physical books, eBooks, graphic novels, magazines, or listen to audiobooks, all reading time counts towards finishing the challenge.

You were rewarded for reading with pizza as a kid – so why not as an adult, too?

*You must be at least 18 years old to be eligible to win a prize.
