Harlequin Books discussion

New! This is a year-long reading challenge for 2021. You can use any location mentioned in the book 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 location/setting name somewhere, it will be accepted any time after June 2021. At least 50% of the titles should be from Harlequin or any of our imprints, such as MIRA, HQN, Park Row, Graydon House, Inkyard, Hanover Square, Carina Press, and Worldwide Mystery.

Locations can be countries, cities, street names, business names, anything that is a location within the book.

Good luck!

this looks like fun! I really missed it when I didn't take part in last year's alphabet reading challenges, and still don't feel up to tackling 4 of them...but I'm going to give this one a go. Thanks for organising this,
Annie

Very doable! I don't think I have ever seen you use a book outside of Harlequins before but if you get stuck on a letter, don't forget there is the loophole of the 50% only requirement. But, I'm sure you'll find them with the time left. :)
