I am quite intrigued about reading challenges! Last year, I did a challenge over at Goodreads and did not follow through. This year, though I am back with a vengeance. See, I love to read, and despite reading a lot of books last year, I did not log it anywhere at all. My Goodreads account was basically…dead. In fact, my blogs were dead. I guess, I was just too lazy to update and to blog in the last couple of years since starting real work. But whatever the reason why my online persona became silent, it has decided to overtake me and be quite active this time around.
I decided on doing my own personal challenge, despite having my Goodreads 2013 Reading Challenge (read 100 books in one year) I am going to do A Year of Romance challenge that I found at The Challenge Factory Group listed on Goodreads. I am going to be overly ambitious and try to read and review a minimum of 6 books/novels in 13 different sub-genres! I am sweating now as I type… that is about 78 books! Craaaaaazzzzzy! But anywho, I will try to go through with this.
Here are my chosen sub-g’s. I will be updating this as I go along throughout the year.
