The document summarizes the origins and guidelines of #bookaday challenges, which encourage readers to read one book per day and share their thoughts on social media. It began in 2009 as an individual challenge by Donalyn Miller, and expanded in 2010 with the #bookaday hashtag. The challenges have benefits like celebrating reading, expanding one's knowledge of books, and connecting with an online reading community.
