Sub-Genre Challenge: Romance
Duration: 1 February 2016 - ????
Status:
  Part #1: 1/20
  Part #2: 29/168

Since I started this year with some binge (re)reading of one of my favourite romance authors (Julie Garwood), I've decided to give this challenge a go! That being said, I'm fully aware of what I'll read (and, more importantly, not be inclined to read), so I've decided to make this a two part challenge so I have a realistic chance of actually finishing it! ;)

Part #1: "Holding Hands"

Read one book from each of the following 20 categories. These are the types of romances that don't appeal to me at all, but I would like to broaden my horizons and try one from each.

♥ African-American Romance: One Red Rose by Julie Garwood 28 Feb 2016
♥ BDSM Romance:
♥ Bodice Ripper / Old School Romance:
♥ Chick-lit Romance / Women's Fiction Romance / Family Saga Romance:
♥ Courtesans / Mistresses / Gigolo / Prostitutes Romance:
♥ Dark Fantasy Romance:
♥ Dystopian Romance:
♥ Erotica Romance:
♥ Georgian Era Romance:
♥ GLBT Romance:
♥ Gothic Romance:
♥ Horror Romance:
♥ Ménage à Trois Romance:
♥ New Adult Romance:
♥ Post-Apocalypse Romance / Apocalyptic Romance:
♥ Rock ‘n Roll Romance:
♥ Science Fiction Romance / Extraterrestrial Romance / Futuristic Romance:
♥ Two-Hankie-Read Romance:
♥ Viking Romance:
♥ Young Adult Romance:



Part #2: "Long Engagement"

Read 3 books from each of the remaining 56 categories. These categories contain some of my favourite themes and settings, so I'll be hard-pressed to choose only three! ;)

Welcome to the challenge, Jenn!

[Elaine]

How does this challenge work. Do I choose a category, and if I finish it, can I do another round?
Am I too late to join, and when does it finish?
In the words of the immortal Beatles.....Help!

You're not late to join and you set your owb pace.
You can do as many categories as you want.

Thanks, Lisa Kay - are you doing this challenge again next year?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Nope. I haven't done much in the way of challenges this year. Way too much going on. Plus, I'm learning Italian, which is really taking up my reading time - since there is so much reading and writing involved in that endevor.

I'm sure my life will settle down soon and I'll start doing challenges again.

I admire your courage taking on Italian. Good Luck!
