Harlequin Books discussion

This is a year-long reading challenge for 2019. You can use either the male lead character's first or last name for each letter of the alphabet. We have found that some of the letters can be quite difficult so for letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z, as long as the letter is in the name somewhere, they will be accepted any time after June 2019. At least 50% of the books should be published by Harlequin or any of our imprints, such as MIRA, HQN, Park Row, Graydon House, Inkyard, Hanover Square, Carina Press, and Worldwide Mystery.

Sorry if I misspelled any hero's name. I couldn't read my own handwriting and I've loaned my books to my mom so they weren't on hand to check. :)

thanks for the info about the v and x hero...I have put it in my notebook in case those letters don't magically occur in books I would choose just for the story!!

Only added 1 but there is still hope!

That rule helped me out some in the other categories but not with heroes. They sure are scarce!

Thank you, Kim.
I'm still struggling with reading so maybe it's in the air or something lol
I managed to add three heros, and by a complete chance all of them were Spanish lol

I've gone through spells where I just couldn't read. It is not fun so I hope things start to improve for you. :) BUT, you can still finish this challenge, even at 3 heroes a month. You got this!

Only added 2 but there I only have 2 to go! I must have miss counted last time I updated by 1.

Thank goodness for the end of the year helper for those pesky hard letters. One more "hard" letter to go and one that isn't supposed to be as difficult. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised I haven't read an "I" hero yet. ~ Kim

LOL that's a great idea! Save those difficult letters for next year's challenge so you can cross them off the list first!

LOL Gege86, I love the way you think! Happy New Year to you as well!

Yay, Pam! You did it!

I confess. I just picked books in December based on what I wanted to read the most because of my Christmas themed story addiction. I'm about to go through my books read in December to see if I got lucky and completed any of my missing letters in all the challenges. "crossing fingers!"

Alas, as feared, none of my Christmas books had a Q hero. I did not finish this challenge. :( Maybe 2020 will be my year!

I'll leave this thread active to comments for those who wish to congratulate or share their lists until February. ~ Kim
