M/M Challenge 2010 - update


 Anesthezea from i heart paperbacks is hosting another m/m romance challenge. I participated last year, had a great time discussing things with the lovelies over at The Manhole on The Phade.  I had a pretty decent reading total for the year in 2009 and hope to at least match it this year.  It's the only way I'm ever going to get to the bottom of Mt. TBR.  (hey! shut the fuck up!  I know I will never hit the bottom as long as I buy faster than I read. Damn publishers making the blurbs sound so tasty and delicious. *grumble, grumble*) It is really going to be a struggle this year because of the work situation.  I have already fallen 10 books behind what I had read for January in 2009.  Anywho...I'm siging up and my goal is - Read 20+ M/M Romances.  I'm actually going to shoot for 100 M/M Romances.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  Here are the details of the challenge.  Head over to her blog for to join in!
Here are her guidelines for the challenge.
TIMELINE: January 1st to December 31st 2010

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.
• Once the challenge starts, I’ll create a page for everyone to post their reviews. Reviews are encouraged, but are entirely optional.
