There is a new challenge on the block, and I personally are very excited about it! I have been reading the Simon Pulse Romantic Comedies for several years now, since I picked up Jennifer Echols’ Major Crush off the shelf. I read them every now and then, and I’m so excited to finish reading all of them.

So THE CHALLENGE.

You can find more about the challenge here. The Simon Pulse Rom Com Challenge runs September 1, 2010 – September 1, 2011. There are four levels for this challenge:

Rom Com Lover – 5 books
Rom Com Raver – 15 books
Rom Com Addict – 25 books
Rom Com Crazy – 35+ books

I am going Rom Com Crazy!! You can count books you have read before the start date, but you want to read at least 50% of the books during the year.

Here’s a complete list of all 38 Simon Pulse Romantic Comedies. I’m going to bold and underline all the ones I’ve read prior to September 1, 2010 and I’ll simply bold each book that I read as the year goes on.
