Megan L Harnett | 806 comments Hi Cathy!

I always enjoying reading new authors. I would recommend Attachments by Rainbow Rowell! Very cute love story! Also I really liked When You Dare by Lori Foster! But if you really want a fun, flirty, funny romance book I would recommend Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie! I plan on reading more books from these authors!

A few of these authors were recommended to me by others on the goodreads site. If you are always looking for new books to read I would join the Pick-it for me Challenge here in the reading group where others recommend books for you! That is how I have gotten some really good recommendations!

Megan

Duration: Sept 13- Oct 2nd
Goal: 8,500 pages
Reward: 6 new or 10 used books

Bonus: Double Pages if the main character(s) in the book get married by the end of the book or are already married when the story starts. (Engagements do not count)
Additional Bounus: Triple pages if any characters in the book celebrate a wedding anniversary!

Ok so this round is a little different but it is for those who especially like romance novels. September is my wedding anniversay month so I thought a fun way to include it in a challenge! Many romance stories end with the main characters getting married, but sometimes not always even if you wish they do! So double pages if the characters do or are already married, but engagements don't count! Triple pages if any characters celebrate wedding anniversaries! Have fun reading happy love stories!

Christine (cdunbar) | 635 comments Congrats, Megan, on both winning the challenge and your wedding anniversary!

What a great challenge. Just what I needed right now.

Although question, I tend to read a lot of paranormal romance and their version of 'marriage' is more like bonding. If they have a bonding ceremony, does that count?

Hi Christine,

Thanks! We are only going on 3 years but it has defintely been worth it!

I would say yes to the "bonding" ceremony for paranormal romance.

Happy Reading!!

ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) I think it's kinda funny that Megan set up this challenge, not knowing that I'd be getting married soon. However, our wedding will just miss the cutoff for the end of the challenge. lol Booked the church for Friday, Oct 7th.
