Romance Reading Challenge 2012

I decided I am doing another Reading Challenge.  

I chose the Romance Reading Challenge 2012.  I love love Romance  books. Romance books are my absolute favorite.  

My favorite Romance authors are:

1. Susan Mallery

2. Nora Roberts

3. Nicholas Sparks

4. Shannon Stacey

I am sure I am forgetting a couple.

Here are the rules: (From the link above)

1. The challenge runs from January 1st, 2012 through December 31st, 2012.
2. "Romance" isn't limited to steamy Harlequin novels. There is a huge selection of books in this category such as contemporary romance, historical romance, romantic suspense and paranormal romance to name a few. As long as the story has romantic love between the two main characters your selection will fit this challenge. The novels do not need to have a happy ending either, there can also be unrequited love. 
3. Choose at least 5 novels to read. You can change your choices at any time. Crossovers between other challenges are fine.
All kinds of books count such as eBooks, Audiobooks...etc.
If you are looking for suggested reading see Best Romance Novels Today, Romance Novels on Wiki or Best Romance Stories. 
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Jane Austen, Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks and Georgette Heyer. 
4. Read the books at your own pace in 2012 then post the link to your review(s). You don't need to have a blog, posting your reviews on Goodreads and LibraryThing counts as well. 

I put "posting your reviews in bold & italicized for me.  It will help me to remember to do this.  I am on Goodreads & I don't always do this for every book I read.  I try to, but if I get busy, then it does not get done.  I will for these books & any others I read for this Challenge!  I am excited for 2012!!

If you are also looking for suggestions on what to read besides what is in #3, join Goodreads if you have not done that already.  Have your friends that are readers join, too.  You will get suggestions from your friends.  You can add those books to your "To Be Read" List!
