Wow! We’re already on the 6th challenge of the 2012 Reading Romances challenge! I completed the May challenge (plus got in some extra reading too) and now I’m ready for June! Nat of Reading Romances has seven options for us this month. If you’re not on board with this booklover’s treat yet – please feel free to join the fun! There are book chats, and discussions and all around great times with fellow readers and authors!
So the June challenge is outlined below:
TOPICS:
1) Read a book that has a reference to a fairytale, either title, character or plot.
2) Read a book that has an athlete as a character or has a sports-themed plot
3) Read a Stand-Alone book.
THEMES:
4) Read a book that has Wedding, Marriage, Proposal, Bride, Groom or Engagement in the title or has a Wedding theme cover.
5) Read an m/m romance book or a book that has at least one prominent gay or lesbian character.
6) Royalty theme: Read a book that has the words King, Queen, Lord, Earl, Duke, or any other royal title.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
7) Repeat Day (June3) Read a book where the first letter repeats for both an author’s first and last name. (Ex. Lora Leigh, Amanda Ashley, Beverly Barton, etc)
Okay, let me just say that it’s cool Nat is honoring Repeat Day for the special events category this month. I love that she knows that an official repeat day exists (and of course, alliteration amuses me). 😉
For this month, to satisfy my Once Upon a Time withdrawal symptoms, I’ll read The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey. I’ll probably read an historical as well (and they often have royal titles in the book title), and will let you know when I make that selection.
Live the adventure! (and come join the Reading Romances fun)
