Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

The Featured Author Challenge is simply that - a challenge where a different romance author is featured each month. Authors will be selected based on popularity and a few other criteria, and must have a booklist with no less than 10 books under their names. Writers who use multiple names will be treated as a single author, and can write under different genres or might be focused on only one.

The challenge is to read one book written by our selected author.

You must complete the book within the month.
