Contemporary is one of my favorite genres, right next to fantasy on my list of favorite genres. So let's get you familiarized with what the genre loosely specifies, shall we?
Contemporary literature is literature with its setting generally after World War II. Sub-genres of contemporary literature include contemporary romance. Typically the characteristics of contemporary literature include stories based realistically with strong characters and a believable story. Settings usually keep to the current or modern era.
And here's the challenge !!
The Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge was originally created and hosted by Pearl’s World of Romance, then was passed on to Romance Book Maven.
Reading Challenge Details:
Reading Challenge Details:
- Runs January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013 (books read prior to 1/1/2013 do not count towards the challenge). You can join at anytime.
- Sign up now on The Book Vixen’s blog.
- The goal is to read at least 10 contemporary romance novels. As per Pearl’s original post:
“by contemporary romance I mean straight contemporary, so without paranormal, fantasy or time-travel elements. Sexy, steamy contemporaries are eligible and so are category romances. (i.e. Harlequin Blaze, Harlequin Presents, Harlequin Super Romances, Silhouette Desires, etc.).”
And what do I choose to read for challenge?
Lets hope I can get my hands on this one! In case of any changes will surely let you know.
