\"\"<\/p>\n

This challenge is hosted by the Under the Covers Book blog Goodreads group<\/a>. \u00a0Basically, you need to read a certain number of books from various romance sub-genres. \u00a0In my case, I’ve chosen to go for the romance guru level, which means I’ll be reading 5 books from each sub-genre for a total of 65<\/em> books! \u00a0I’m very much looking forward to this. \u00a0I have a tendency to binge on certain genres (hi, paranormal & urban fantasy!) and ignore everything else.<\/p>\n

Below I’ve listed out some of the books I’m hoping to read in each category, including books I have in my TBR and also ones that will be released in 2018. \u00a0I’m horrible at following these lists, though, so I’m sure things will get shaken up a bit as the year progresses.<\/p>\n
