I am a bit pressed for time this week but promise to welcome you all personally on your blogs in the coming weeks. <br /><br />@ Beth > Regarding the page count. Ebooks normally are have less pages than print books but they do count for the challenge. But I would like to set a mininum of 50 pages so as not to include the really, really short ones, which are more stories than books.<br /><br />As for your other question next to welcoming everyone on the blogs I will make a seperate review/list posts where non-bloggers can post their lists and reviews. <br /><br />This will be via emailing me their titles of the books they've read, so I'll keep up their lists up to date. <br />If there are reviews made by non-bloggers they can also be emailed to me and I will make a post + link to the list post<br /><br />So please bear with me and I will contact you all in the coming weeks with more information. <br /><br />If there are questions you can always email me via the contact form in the left sidebar or in the "About Me" Tab of the header.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776233740301497185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-58218839565326609012010-01-05T05:58:09.310+01:002010-01-05T05:58:09.310+01:00Thank-you for hosting this challenge.

After all some ebooks are kinda on the short side.<br />And for those of us, like myself, who don't have the time or the skill to have a blog of our own, how do we let everyone know what books we've read to meet the challenge?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837126194644384743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-1034295033226657422009-12-31T00:58:34.300+01:002009-12-31T00:58:34.300+01:00I'm signing up here: http://haleymathiot.blogs...I'm signing up here: http://haleymathiot.blogspot.com/2009/12/contemporary-reading-challenge.html<br /><br />awesome :DMiss Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530418334294546322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-48637946655193733012009-12-28T10:48:46.737+01:002009-12-28T10:48:46.737+01:00It is official, I have entered this challenge *gri...It is official, I have entered this challenge *grin*Leontinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772385054579881436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-53340453997988164482009-12-22T22:05:57.850+01:002009-12-22T22:05:57.850+01:00I joined too!I joined too!Jamie (confessions of a book junkie)http://confessionsofabookjunkie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-86080932407667941012009-12-15T21:50:48.772+01:002009-12-15T21:50:48.772+01:00I'm in too!

I'll think on it but now that I have NR in mind I also have titles of which I know for a 100% that they are contemp.romance. Either way, I'm in ;) I will create a post somewhere this week and you'll see my name pop up on the list her with mr.linky ;)Leontinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772385054579881436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-38120598833635411642009-12-07T13:59:49.974+01:002009-12-07T13:59:49.974+01:00Leontine!!!!

Jill Shalvis is definitely Contempor...@ Janna ><br /> Jill Shalvis is definitely Contemporary Romance. <br />I am the last to make strict rules, it's all fun and freedom so as long as it's a straight Contemporary and there's romance...anything goes (I have read a book by Gennita though and it was more futuristic like, so that one I wouldn't count for this challenge)<br /><br />@ Grilsgood ><br />As I said, as long as it's in a contemporary setting and it's not paranormal, historical, time-travel, (urban) fantasy, most anything goes. I'm easy that way *wink* <br /><br />A tip, if you like romantic mysteries, I am participating in the Thriller/Suspense Challenge hosted by BookChickCity (see right sidebar) for the mysteries and romantic suspense I read/will be reading. Maybe that would be the perfect challenge for your romantic mysteries. <br /><br />@Leontine ><br />Thanks for the compliments on the button (Janna too by the way!) but I did have some help...I was ready to tear out some hair and throw the towel in and go to the "real" Photoshop peeps (for example you...), when hubby took pity on me, came to the rescue and saved the day and helped me save my button :)<br />Thanks in advance for the pimpage! And as for the joining in the challenge...You'll probably own more contemporary books than you think, for example Erin McCarty's and Maya Banks' books definitely qualify and didn't you just get a Elizabeth Lowell (of the top of my head, because I am really bad with names sometimes) contemporary, with the secondary character from her medieval trilogy? <br />And what's more, I know you joined the Erotica Reading Challenge (which I am joining too, yay!), any contemporary setting erotica crosses over to this challenge too, so that will be two birds with one stone *wink*<br />You see? More than you think. But seriously, joining is not obligatory...Nothing is set in stone and most anything goes.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776233740301497185noreply@blogger.com
