Reading Challenge 2022: A Book about Magic

All books are magic! They transport us to other places and times. We get to hear the thoughts of different characters and see through their eyes. Reading can cast a spell so that we get lost in the words on the page and forget to do other stuff. 

But some books are also about magic. There are tons of books you could pick for this Reading Challenge category. Want to learn some new magic tricks? Go for it! Or, if you love fantasy, mythology and the supernatural, this is an easy category to check off your list. You could choose from your favourite series about dragons, fairies and wizards. But why not try an author you haven't read before? It's supposed to be a challenge, after all! 

Have you completed the 2022 TPL Reading Challenge? Great job! Let a grown-up know if you want to receive a certificate, enter the prize draw, or both. You need to have a library card and to fill out this form by December 31, 2022.
