Thought we would add a longer challenge just for fun. Let me know what you think. If the group likes this we can add some more yearly challenges as well.

Challenge Duration: One year from your chosen start date.

Rules: The challenge is pretty basic but it will probably be pretty challenging! Read one book that takes place on each of the seven continents: Europe, North American,(and here is where is starts to get hard for romances) South America, Asia, Australia (and then really, really hard) Africa and Antarctica.

They don't all have to be BR's or romances, you can read any books from any genre. But you get extra bonus points if you stick with BR's for sure! We will all be super impressed! :)

The book can take place in full on that continent or just part of the book can take place there, but each book can only count for one continent. So you should have read 7 different books for this challenge.

To Participate: Just post here that you are interesting in participating. You then have one year from the date of that post to read your chosen 7 books. As you complete each book repost your list with the date each book was read.

Good luck everyone!
