I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Hey Mom? Don't pay any attention to this one! K?

M/M Romance
Reading Challenge
2013


hosted at Walkabout, sign up here

The rules are as follows:
  • This challenge is for those of you who enjoy reading M/M romances (i.e. novels and novellas where the main focus is a romantic relationship between male protagonists) or who might like to try the genre.
  • You can join at any time throughout the year and do not need a Blog, LiveJournal (or equivalent) to participate, just the ability to keep a list of books read.
  • The books don’t have to be selected ahead of time and can be utilized in multiple challenges.
  • The books can be in any format (e.g. audio books, eBooks, and print) [and includes comics and manga] and re-reads are welcome.
There are 9 reading levels to choose from:
  • - Read 1 M/M Romance (For those of you who would like to try the genre) [Any book suggestions from those of you well read in the genre would be welcome!]
  • - Read 5 M/M Romances
  • - Read 10 M/M Romances
  • - Read 20 M/M Romances
  • - Read 30 M/M Romances
  • - Read 40 M/M Romances
  • - Read 50 M/M Romances
  • - Read 100 M/M Romances
  • - Surprise me! (This is for those of you who probably read hundreds of M/M romances :)
Optional. If you’re not new to reading m/m romances, re-read your first ever m/m title. Do you feel differently about the book now than you did when you first read it? You could also aim to read a series, along a theme, or a book that you wouldn't otherwise read...

I have NO IDEA which level to choose. The length is a factor but re-reads count. . . Fine! I'm going to read 40! Actually, I'm going to try to ONLY read 40. Which may be harder than it sounds as my first book of the year was m/m romance. ;-)
