Harlequin Books discussion

You have 3 months to read a set of books that will hopefully help you with your TBR's or introduce you to a new favorite author.

Reading requirements;
5 books from your favorite romance series (Desire, Intrigue, Historical...) or imprint.
4 books from a different romance series or imprint.
3 books from a different romance series or imprint.
2 books randomly from your TBR pile.
1 book from a romance series or imprint that you haven't read for a while but miss

Total books read 15!

For example, my list might look like this:
5 Harlequin Historicals
4 Harlequin Desires
3 Graydon House titles
2 Random books
1 Carina Press

I have a decent start on this already if I include the 4 Rachel Lee books I bought Friday. I'm reading a Susan Mallery now, and have already read a Carina Press title. Julie Miller has a release coming Jan. 31.

I think this is do-able. :)

Do rereads count or should they all be new-to-me? I finished The Admiral's Bride (Suzanne Brockman) for the fourth? time recently.

Count me in I like this one. I like the shorter challenges. So Thank You will we also do a monthly one. I liked the colors we had last year, so maybe we can do flowers or plants. That are in season or one must plant now. Like in TX it is suggested to plant fruit trees now (Peaches and Pecans mostly). In Feb and March our Tulips, Daffodils and Iris start blooming. Just a suggestion I would love since I am a big gardener. I help the students at The school I teach now they have 3 different gardens a sensory (they made for the FAC (Autism,Down syndome etc we have 4 units), vegetable and Monarch butterfly. Thank you again

Rereads definitely count.

Well done!

I was going to get my list ready but my husband wants to go to an estate sale so I'll have to put my efforts up later. I'm also thinking about the next quarterly challenge and all I know at this point is it will have something to do with spring.

There a few books I read that I'm not sure what they fall under (MIRA, Harlequin Romance, etc.) I have to investigate those and then make my list. I reread almost all of Julie Miller's books early this year, so I have Intrigue covered and then some. I also have Medical, Historical, Super Romance, and Carina Press, plus these ?? ones.

I have read a lot of Harlequin books so far this year, and am reading another one now.

Yes, That title is part of the Harlequin Special Edition series romance. Rachel Lee is a favorite author of mine. She's authored many books with Harlequin and has titles from several of their romance lines. I really love her Conrad County stories.~ Kim
