Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

This is an adaptation of the one previously run by The Book Vixen on her blog. She is no longer doing it, so I thought I would share it here.

Who doesn’t love a man in uniform? They’re hot, resourceful, and they’re always well equipped. And If you like reading books featuring men in uniform, then this is the reading challenge for you!


Reading Challenge Details:

Runs January 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016 (books read prior to 1/1/2016 do not count towards the challenge). You can join any time before 9/30/2016.

The goal is to read as many novels that feature men in uniform as you’d like. It can be a policeman, firefighter, paramedic, doctor, veterinarian, mechanic, military, etc. – as long as the leading man wears some sort of uniform, it counts. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but no moving down. Remember, the idea is to challenge yourself.

Books can be any format (print, ebook, audio).

Books can be any genre (romance, m/m romance, fiction, non-fiction, mystery/thriller, etc.).

Novellas that are 100 pages in length (give or take), as well as full-length novels, will count for this reading challenge.
Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.

Levels:

Sergeant: read 1–10 men in uniform novels
Lieutenant: read 11–20 men in uniform novels
Captain: read 21–30 men in uniform novels
Chief: read 31+ men in uniform novels

You can post your list here, create a goodreads shelf, or use your own blog (post a link here so others can see what you're reading).

I will have a dedicated shelf on goodreads, and also post my progress here.

My goal is chief.

No, as they wear ordinary blue jeans and shirts. Uniforms would be something you just wear for your job.

Yes. The hero needs to be currently in the uniformed job. Thanks for asking!

Thanks Susan. I read way more ex-military, so I will initially go for 10 but will probably end up with more as I see other people's reviews.

Ok next question - what about Detectives? Do they count?Technically they don't wear uniforms

I count them because they are law enforcement and carry a badge.

Thanks Susan :) I read a lot of romantic suspense.

Just wanted to tell everyone that I love seeing what everyone is reading. I'm getting some great ideas to add to my want to read list!

Susan

I'm considering this. Quick question -- FBI & police detectives - -they wear suits & ties to work, so I guess they don't work?

Susan A wrote: "I'm considering this. Quick question -- FBI & police detectives - -they wear suits & ties to work, so I guess they don't work?"

I count them because they are law enforcement and carry badges. That's uniform enough for me.

Do lawyers count? I tried to see if anyone else had already asked or if anyone had lawyers listed but I didn't notice any... Thanks :)

Nikki wrote: "Do lawyers count? I tried to see if anyone else had already asked or if anyone had lawyers listed but I didn't notice any... Thanks :)"

No, lawyers don't wear uniforms. Military, law enforcement, sports, medical, fire/rescue, all wear uniforms of some type.
