2016 Contemporary Romance Challenge

The Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge was created by The Book Vixen but for 2016 it is being hosted by Gone with the Words and Love at First Page. If you'd like to join me taking part in this years challenge you can find the sign up page HERE

This is will be my fourth year taking part in the contemporary romance challenge and I'm really looking forward to it. I seem to be binging on my main love of paranormal romance and urban fantasy at the moment but I still enjoy contemporary romance so although I'm reading a bit less I'd like to carry on keeping track of it.

2010 - I read 16 contemporary romance stories
2011 - I read 5 contemporary romance stories
2012 - I read 71 contemporary romance stories
2013 - I read 116 contemporary romance stories
2014 - I read 94 contemporary romance stories
2015 - I read 51 contemporary romance stories

I'm going to set my goal for 2016 at 20 books so that I'm not putting myself under too much pressure.

I will update this post to include links to my reviews as I post them.
