Romance Reading Challenge 2014


I can't believe it's time for Romance Reading Challenge 2014. Love is in the air people.
I started this reading challenge in 2008 and this will be my sixth year running it. I want to say a big "thank you!" to all who join and participate. You rock. Last year 40 readers joined and 89 reviews were posted! I love seeing this challenge generate interest and inspire people to read a little romance. Love makes the world go round doesn't it?
Without further ado, here are the rules:

 
1. The challenge runs from January 1st, 2014 through December 31st, 2014. 

2. "Romance" isn't limited to steamy Harlequin novels. There is a huge selection of books in this category such as contemporary romance, historical romance, new adult romance, romantic suspense and paranormal romance to name a few. As long as the story has romantic love between the two main characters your selection will fit this challenge. The novels do not need to have a happy ending either, there can also be unrequited love.

3. Choose at least 5 novels to read. You can change your choices at any time. Crossovers between other challenges are fine.
All kinds of books count, ebooks and audiobooks as well. Re-reads are fine, no ARC's or review request copies. The books you read for the challenge should be books you choose as personal reads, not books that are review requests from authors or publicists. Books you request for yourself are fine...i.e. NetGalley books.


Below is my list of five romance novels that I plan to read this year, but I will probably end up with two or three times as many by year's end.


  1. Written in my Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon
  2. The Dancing Master by Julie Klasse
  3. Captive Maiden by Melanie Dickerson
  4. The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
  5. Governess of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky
