Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

The next Pass The Parcel round opens in February. Are there any themes that you would like to see in the next round? Please post your suggestions here :)

Please ensure that any theme suggested can fit multiple genres and is broad enough to provide plenty of scope to find books on shelves and in the GR summary.

Yes - the thread is ready for posts :) I'm just too lazy to pull the other lists over just yet ;) (Actually I'm doing my MnG bonus picks...)

Yay! I love coming up with themes!

1. Stalker/Secret Admirer. There are several shelves, but this is the biggest: Stalker or Secret Admirer Shelf

2. MC has Amnesia. Amnesia Romance, Amnesia-Historical Romance and Amnesia: Gay Romance

3. "Shut up and kiss me" cover search. Pick a book with a couple locking lips on the cover!

Okay...I better stop there before I go overboard and embarrass myself. ; )

Thanks Becky - that's great :)

I'll be opening sign up for the next round of PtP in a couple of weeks. If you have some themes you would like me to consider (no promises of course :) please jot them down here. Please include suggested shelves where applicable.
