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:

Why is this challenge different from the others? I’ll tell you, because every month we’ll be exploring new horizons of the romance genre! But here it is in more details:

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.

3. The challenge runs from 15 January 2012 until 31 December 2012, you can join anytime.

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.

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

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

8. There will be monthly bookish prizes, the winner will be drawn from the submitted reviews. (So the more books you read in the monthly theme and reviews you submit the greater chance you have at winning)

And here are the monthly themes or our plan for the year:

January: Paranormal Romance

February: Romantic Suspense

March: Contemporary Romance

April: Sci-fi Romance

May: Chick Lit

June:Military Romance

July: Fantasy Romance

August: Mystery/crime romance

September: Historical Romance

October: Urban Fantasy Romance

November: Erotic Romance

December: Holiday Romance

I hope you’ll join me, I know we’ll have fiun! :-))
