Recommended book list

The Novel Challenge is all about reading for a reason – to support more than 20,000 Australians living with MS.

You can select one of our book lists below, and challenge yourself to read as many of the titles in that list for 30 days. You then ask your family, friends, colleagues and contacts to sponsor you for your reading efforts.

Our book lists are all different genres. There is something for everyone! Pick a genre that you don’t normally read to really challenge yourself. Make sure you tell your sponsors what you are reading. It will act as an incentive for them to donate if they know you are really challenging yourself for a worthy cause!

Happy reading!
