READING CHALLENGES UPDATE

I signed up for two reading challenges this year.

The first one is the What’s in a Name 2023 Challenge hosted by Andrea @ Carolina Book Nook. For this challenge I have to choose 6 books with titles that contain specific key words. This one is all done and it was fun.

The second challenge is the 2023 Romance Book Reading Challenge hosted by She Reads Romance Books. For each month, there is a specific type of romance book to read. Let’s see how it’s going so far.

  • January: Romantic Comedy – Man Cuffed by Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby.
  • February: Steamy Romance – Take the Lead by Alexis Daria.
  • March: New Adult Romance – Fall With Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
  • April: Back list on your TBR – Savage Rising by Katie Reus.
  • May: Historical Romance – Defying the Earl by Erica Ridley.
  • June: LGBTQ+ Romance – Undressing the Duke by Erica Ridley.
  • July: Contemporary Romance – Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams
  • August: A new author (to you) –  Float Plan by Trish Doller
  • September: Sports Romance – The New Guy by Sarina Bowen
  • October: Reread a favourite book – A Rogue by Any Other Name by Sarah MacLean
  • November: Award nominee
  • December: Your favourite trope

And that was what my October 2023 looked like. What about yours?
