Reading Romances Challenge 2012

Hi!,

           yes another challenge but as you can see it's on the same thema that i choose for this year. Now normally this post should have been posted in the beginning of March but it didn't and disappeared from blogger so that's a bit annoying but i hope everything will be fine in the end.

So this challenge is for romance obviously and there will have a new topic ( or several) each month it's hosted and organised by reading romances.

Here is a copy of the rules so if you want to join the fun, do  it ^^

The Reading Romances Challenge is not about the amount of books you read, but the variety of titles you’ll have read when the challenge is over! Our goal is to read a bit of everything related to romance and open our minds to new genres we wouldn’t usually read.

Challenge Guidelines:

1. The 2012 Reading Romances Challenge will run from Jan 1, 2012 – Dec 31, 2012.
2. Anyone can join, you don’t need to have a blog. Feel free to sign-up in the comments – you can post reviews to any book site (i.e. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Goodreads, Librarything, Shelfari etc).
3. I’ll post a list of romance sub-genres and a few cool themes for you to choose on the first day of each month (you can read all of them or just a couple).
4. You can list your books before reading them (by leaving a comment on the post with the topics for that month) or just put them in a wrap-up post. If you list them, don’t feel obligated to read them, changes are welcomed!
5. Sign up in the linky bellow and add the direct link to your post about joining the Reading Romances Challenge. If you don’t have a blog, please link it to the page where you post your reviews (Goodreads, Shelfari, Amazon etc).
6. You don’t have to participate every month, but please try to!
7. Sign-ups will be open until Dec 15, 2012, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.

• I will never tell you to read one specific author, but I might suggest a few titles and authors to give you some ideas.
• You can read the same author more than once and the books can be old or new, but they must be read during the course of the challenge.
• Books used in this challenge may be used in other challenges.
• Books can be in any format – paper, audio, ebook.
• Post the button to post on your sidebar, this way others can find their way back to this post and join in the fun!

all the best

I love participating in reading challenges but I only discovered how much fun it was to organize them as well when I hosted the Book Lovers Inc Holiday Reading Challenge. Well I am back with a new challenge for 2012:

Rules:

1. You have to read at least 1 book per month from the monthly theme.

2. There will be a monthly theme: each month we will explore a different romance sub-genre.

4. You can join the challenge by submitting the link of your general sign up post in the linky below (if you are a blogger). Please link back to this post so others can join the challenge too! If you don't have a blog just submit your name and e-mail address (and if you want your Goodreads shelf where you are tracking the books for the challenge if you have one).

5. You don't have to select your books ahead of time, you can just add them as you go.

6. Any format counts: paperbacks, Ebooks, audiobooks, re-reads and crossovers with other challenges are fine.

7. There will be monthly recommendation lists of books in the monthly theme.

8. There will be monthly posts where you can link up your reviews.
