I'm happy to say that my Romance Reading Challenge is going into it's third year! Wow! Thank you all who have joined and read and posted thier reviews. That's amazing to me, that I started a challenge and other bloggers joined up and participated, it's really great. I hope you will sign up again this year. So, without further ado, here's the rules:


1. "Romance" isn't limited to steamy Harlequin novels. There is a huge selection of books in this category such as contemporary romance, historical 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.
Here's a few suggestions:

*Twilight By Stephenie Meyer

*Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

*Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

*The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss

*Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or any other novel by Miss Austen

*Frederica by Georgette Heyer

*The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory

*Benny & Shrimp by Katarina Mazetti

*Beneath A Marble Sky by John Shors

*The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

*P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern

*The Princess Bride by William Goldman

2. Choose at least 5 novels read them between Jan 1st though Dec 31st 2010. You can change your choices at any time. Crossovers between other challenges are fine.




3. Read them at your own pace in 2010 then come here and post the link to your review(s).



4. Link your "RRC" choices here with any of these graphics:
