Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

Trying to find new recs and like everyone else make my way through my TBR. I know I should do one or the other but I can't.

Hi everyone! I'm all about the romance (any sub-genre, though I prefer things steamy) and figured joining a group like this would be a great way to connect with other readers and find some new books. Reading challenges are a whole new world for me, so we'll see how that goes. :)

Hello all. I was looking for discussion books of others who to read romance novels I think this might be a perfect fit!

Good luck Smut! Plenty of steamy in our readers bookshelves so have fun checking out our threads :D

The perrenial issue for us all - the tempting new book or the one on hand :D Plus just finding something to suit your mood. Hope you find a great book!

Best wishes Laura - hope the challenges help you whittle down your TBR, although they are just as likely to encourage you to buy the latest 'pretty' ;)

Hi Isabella - glad you joined our group. Good luck with your writing!

Hello everyone! My name is Hayley, I joined because I wanted recommendations for romance books. Also I wanted to be able to talk to people who also read romance books. I’m very excited to get started!

Hi Beatrice here. Bee to friends...love romance in books and for real...💕

Hi, Hayley and Bee! Welcome to the group!

Hello! My name is Carleene. I am an avid reader and read from many genres but am excited to find more romance readers. I also like to try to challenge myself so this sounded like a great group to join. I live in Texas but migrated from Montana.

Welcome Hayley, Beatrice and Carleene!! Hope you find a heap of great books to read here and have fun meeting our members and chatting all things romance :D

Hi!! I’m Lauren and I’m new to the group, but not Goodreads. I’ve been on a Romance reading kick lately - mostly audiobooks because I have a decent drive to and from work, but it’s summer now so e-books will dominate now.

Welcome Isabella, Hayley, Beatrice, Carleene and Lauren! I hope you all have fun here!

Welcome Lauren!! I love audios as well due to my long commutes as well ~ and fortunately we have great choice now 😊

hi, i'm new here, i joined recently. i like to read romance and am trying to write a book about romance, or well, it's kind of turning into drama lol but i'm trying to have balance to make it happier than the tough parts in it. but yea, ideas, planning. so much to do.

Welcome to the group Ellie - good luck with your writing :D

Welcome Ellie and good luck!

Want recommendations, too. More of a current romance type (historical not so much). Will read some of the posts to see what others are up to. Excited to know of this group's existence.

Welcome to the group Amy!! Hope you find some great books here 😊

Hi Amy! I find the challenges are a great way to find new books - often too many new books...🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello! I love reading Historical/Contemporary/Paranormal, among quite a few more genres.
I have been reading Romance since I was 17. Bertrice Small's Adora was my 1st book. I have 2 children, 20 and 25 :-) I have Multiple Sclerosis.

Hello from London UK. My name is Bonnie and I am trying to get back into reading after a looooong time of not reading regularly. I accidentally discovered a Booktuber on Youtube who mentioned this group and a 2019 reading challenge, so I thought this would be a great way to re-introduce myself to reading.

Looking forward to hanging out with you all and reading up a storm.
Speak to you all soon x

Welcome to the group Bonnie!! How strange to think this group has been mentioned on YouTube!! Hopefully some of the books on these pages will help you refind your love of reading :D

hi :) name is Riley. i'm still sorting out how the groups on good reads work. I joined a challange but I can't seem to find it again...I also don't know if I have to do the parts of the challange in order :p

Welcome to the group Riley! Not sure which challenge you joined and I can’t look through the options at the moment but often ppl try the monthly challenges first. If you go to our home page and then scroll down the folders you will see the monthly challenge folder near the top...

Good luck!

it's the July monthly challange. there are 10 books to read, just not sure if I have to read them in order.

No - you can read in any order. And you can also set your own level if you only want to read, say 5 books 😊

awesome. thank you. do you know how to post pictures? I was trying to play the book cover hunt game, but I can't seem to post a picture.

Hi - sorry off at work. To post a book over, click o the top right ‘add book’ link immediately above the comment box. Then search for the book you want. Once the results come up, pick the correct book (and edition) and at the bottom of the pop up box select ‘ bookcover’.

Doing this from memory on my phone, so hope it is roughly correct.

Hello! Just joined because I wanted to try out some reading challenges and Goodreads seemed like the best place to start =]

I love romance books, they're pretty much all I read, and I especially love to talk about romance books!

You have definitely joined a great group if you love romance. There are plenty of challenge to jump in on, but I'd suggest checking out the monthly folder first to see what the day-to-day options are :D

Have fun Alex!

Hello to the new members! Welcome to the group🙂

Hello! My name is Zoe and I am a rapid and avid reader of historical romances!! Although I only found the genre a couple years ago, I've probably surpassed 500 books already :)

I've joined this group because I've started a passion project (no pun intended!) due to my love of the genre and I'm looking for other people who love it too who might be interested in critiquing as I begin or be interested in general!

And no, it's not a book of my own, it's a podcast :)
Excited to get more into this group!

Hello Zoe! Welcome to the group🙂

Finding Elenore

Hi! I’m Hannah and I love romance. I’ve turned to social media to find like-minded fans because I sadly know too few people IRL who read romance. I’m just here to chat about my favorite genre!

Hi
What type of romance do you enjoy
