The '''Book Bucket Challenge''' is an online challenge where people share the names of ten books that inspired them on their [[social networking]] pages, or donate books to the needy and share photos of this with friends on [[social networking site]]s. The challenge originated in [[India]]. It is named after the [[Ice Bucket Challenge]], and went viral on [[social media]] during August and September 2014.<ref>{{cite web|author=Express News Service|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/Book-Bucket-Challenge-Popular-on-Social-Media/2014/09/11/article2424833.ece|title=Book Bucket Challenge Popular on Social media|publisher=The Indian Express|date=2014-09-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Book-Bucket-the-latest-fad-among-city-slickers/articleshow/41818148.cms|title=Book Bucket, the latest fad among city slickers|work=The Times of India|date=2014-09-06}}</ref>

==Significance==

As an alternative to the [[Ice Bucket Challenge]], the Book Bucket Challenge served the dual purpose of highlighting [[water scarcity]] and spreading the usefulness and joy of reading.
