The American Civil War, also known as the War Between the States, was fought from 1861 to 1865; these Romances may be placed in the North or the South. The Reconstruction period was from 1865 to 1877.)

♥ Baby Love Romance(where a baby plays an important part in the plot-line of the Romance. It may be either the male or female lead that has a baby or child - by birth, adoption, or guardianship. ould be the heroine is pregnant, and the hero is not the father. ):✔
♥ (Blaire is pregnant)

♥ BDSM Romance (bondage, discipline, submission, dominance.):✔ May 26th
♥

♥ Bodice Ripper / Old School Romance(written in the 1970’s & 1980’s, bookcovers depicting the scantily clad heroine being grabbed by the hero; don’t be surprised to find alpha-heroes, un-politically correct action, forced seduction, eep! - rape, sold into slavery plot lines, mistresses, and - aack! - cheating):
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...

♥ Cabin Romances / Road Trip Romances(Road Romances devote large sections to journeys, either by land or by sea. They are filled with adventure, danger, and excitement.

Added you, Hayley!

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

I'm working on my list and I have a question...can I use the same book for both portions of the challenge. For example, if I read a book that fits the shifter category in part one, and shifters is a category I chose for part 2, can I count it there too? Or do I need to pick different shifter books for the second portion?

Since you made two parts (as I did), I'll leave that decision totally up to you, Susan.

I'll update your link.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

thanks, Lisa Kay! At this point, I think I'll choose different ones. I may find I'm feeling overwhelmed and add them at a later date LOL

[Joann]

Lisa Kay - Okay, so I changed my mind (what else is new), and I'm going to try to read all the sub-genres. I wind up with 76 as a count; I think it's because Virgin Hero Romance is not in message 2 for the copy list or I missed a post about it. I've already taken out Thriller Romance.
