TIMELINE: January 1st to December 31st 2010
RULES: Read five(5) or more m/m romances in 2010
There are 5 reading levels to choose from:
- Read 5 M/M Romances
- Read 10 M/M Romances
- Read 15 M/M Romances
- Read 20 M/M Romances
- Read 20+ M/M Romances
DETAILS:
This challenge is for those who enjoy reading gay romances (also known as m/m or male/male romances) or those who are interested in starting. If you aren’t familiar with this genre, it consists of novels and stories where the main focus is the romantic relationship between the male protagonists.
• You must be 18 years old or older to join.
• You don’t have to select your books ahead of time. Even if you do, you can change your books as you go. Your books can crossover with other challenges.
• You don’t need a blog to participate. You can comment on this post if you’d like to share a book list or reading pool.
• Please create a post on your blog where you’ll be keeping track of your challenge reads and link back to this post so others can join in on the fun. If you use a “Current Challenges” page, or something similar, you can link back from that page instead of creating an individual post.
• You can use the large banner I’m using at the top of this post or you can use the smaller buttons I’ve provided below. Just copy the code provided. There’s no need to save the smaller buttons to your own server. (I have another large banner you can use here, if you’d like.)
• You can join at anytime between now and the latter part of 2010. Just give yourself enough time to read your chosen amount of books.
• Books chosen can be any length, sub-genre, or format. eBooks, paperbacks, young adult books, audio books, and re-reads are all okay.
• You can post the links to your reviews here on the Review Post.
PRIZES:
Everyone who signs up for the challenge between now and January 31st will be eligible to win $15 in eBook Bucks from All Romance Ebooks!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Anesthezea. This blog is dedicated to book reviews, random discussion, a few book challenges, and a few other (hopefully) fun things. I read and review Straight and GLBT fiction, romance, fantasy, mystery/suspense, historical fiction, and erotica. Some reviews may contain adult content or concepts.

Do you need help adding a link to the challenge to the image you have in your sidebar? Copy and paste the following into your sidebar. Maybe the code will show up okay in this comment.

Anesthezea, I followed your instructions and I thought things were fine. Till I tried the link and Google tells me it’s broken. I don’t get it either, my Son tells me there is a virus going around the messes with links like these and Norton’s didn’t pick it up. Any suggestions?

I tried again now blogger tells me the page doesn’t exist…I’ll still read but I give up on the buttons. I’ll try to put the link in a post and see if that works!
I am not sure where you want the links for our reviews to go.
My first book for the challenge is “How the West was Done” Edited by Adam Carpenter

You can post your review links here: http://iheartpaperbacks.com/?p=2885
It looks like the code you have for the link also includes a link to your own blog. When I hover over the image, it shows the url to your blog as well as the link to the challenge. Perhaps it will work if you remove your blog link from the code? Or, if you’d prefer, just remove the link entirely and don’t link back to the challenge. I won’t mind. :) I just want you to spend your time reading and having fun, not worrying about html and such. Take care!
Hi Anesthezea, thank you for hosting this 2010 challenge. I just signed up and hopefully this year I will be doing better than last year.
Thanks! Lilli
I love Boy LOVE! Can’t wait to get started!
Hi Anesthezea! I am back for the 2010 challenge. Let’s see how we do. I am planning on 20+ reads. Good luck and lots of fun to all.
Thanks for joining us again this year! Hope you have fun! :)
Missie_Summers at The Unread Reader and KC over at Smokinhotbooks both talked me into joining in on the challenge, since I just finished one m/m book and am starting on another right now (once you start, it’s hard to stop! LOL, no pun intended). I’m starting out small… Just the 5 book challenge, but I imagine my list will grow as time goes on. I’m easily addicted to genres…
Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful challenge!
I just found this and I’m joining in on it super late but I can’t resist :P
Since I already read a couple this year and I’m at the very end of another right now, I think I’m going to go for 10 books… I may be getting ahead of myself but, oh well.
(reviews will be here http://rukayahamdi.blogspot.com/)
good luck everyone! ^^
