I'm going to aim for 50 in 2016......I can't resist these stories!!!
My goal will be 25 since I read and review so many other genres and have to work on my dissertation some time :).
Hello ladies always wanted to joined the challenge and I'm going for it in 2016 I will try to read 25
Looks like I read 52 HPs last year and I have a monstrous stash to get through so I'll try for 75 this year. That works out to one every 4.8 days. That sounds doable.

I signed up for 50. That's no chore. I love HPs!
My goal is 50. These are my guilty pleasures. I love them.
I am going to try and restrain myself to 25. I really need to read something else. Don't I?Palate cleanser????

Exactly! I use them as a palate cleanser between heavier reads.

LOLZ. That's the perfect definition of a HP. I'm going for the 25 mark this year as well. Not only is it a palate cleanser, it is also a good after-work wind down for me. It's something I know I can finish between dinner and bedtime as opposed to a heavier read. I feel like I've accomplished something for the day - lolz.
I'm really into the 50s-early 90s HPs lately so I'll manage at least 30 this year. I've been in a rut reading the same Mather, Lamb, Mortimer Winspear, Craven books. I need to discover new HP authors who wrote during those eras
A - Yvonne Whittal, Jessica Steele, Patricia Wilson are authors you might like to try that are big on angst and from that era.If you want a lighter touch, Betty Neels, Essie Summers, Mary Burchell and Amanda Doyle are also fun.
Daphne Clair, Rachel Lindsay, Kay Thorpe, Margaret Pargeter, Anne Weale. There are lot of great authors in the Presents line. Have you checked out Fiction DB? They list all of the HPs in order of publication with authors and book blurbs. It's a great resource. Here's a page from 1980: http://www.fictiondb.com/series/harle...
I'm going to try for 20 - it will be a start on my huge HP TBR pile (one of many new year resolutions:)
I absolutely love MB &Harlequin....I'm addicted to them since the first one I read.....many many years ago.Romance Rocks!!!!

there goes my evening! thanks
I guess I will pledge for 15 only. I'm into historical these days but I used to love Harlequin Presents xx
Hi, Newbie here. I signed up for the challenge on the challenge page, but the little widget at top says I've only read 2 books. I have 5 read on my bookshelf. What am I doing wrong? https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...Any help is appreciated.

This is my first year joining the challenge! Thank you for the invite!! :-)
I put down 20 as my goal.
Oops :-) forgot to put my count.. I love Harlequin Presents... Shooting for 55
Last year I've read 116 HP when my goal was 75. This year I want to read a little less, so my goal is going to be 25, but since those novels are my guilty pleasure I'm sure I'll overdo it again :)
My goal is 70, I have already read 12 but it doesn't show
You have to register the date read as well as create a shelf called "hp".That should do it.
Use the link at the top of the page: Sign up here and on the official challenge page...Make sure you sign up for the correct challenge (I see 2). Enter the information - how many books you intend to read and the shelf you will use. If you have already added the shelf, use the exact name (dashes and all - GR adds dashes for spaces in shelf names.) Hope this helps - it solved my problem.
I can easily go for 50. But can we combine both challenges? I mean the 6 months one and the yearly one?
