For this challenge you will need to read seven books in six months. To complete the challenge the title or author's name will need to begin with the letters R-O-M-A-N-C-E and must be classified as a romance novel (this includes as romance sub genre including contemporary, historical or paranormal).To join us in the challenge, put a post on your blog saying you're participating in the challenge and the letters R-O-M-A-N-C-E down the post ready for you to put up your book list. Now you can post a suggested list or you can just put up the letters in preparation. You can change the your choice at any time, books can crossover with any other challenges but must be reviewed to be counted. Don't forget to put up the Button for this challenge in your side bar with a link to Royal Reviews. This challenge begins on June 1st and finishes on November 30,2009, although you can sign up anytime.
Please sign up with Mr Linky, including your name and the link to the POST, not your blog. Then come back each time you've reviewed a book and put it up on Mr Linky's book reviews link. When you finish the challenge there will also be a Mr Linky for that.
For this challenge we are going to give out a cheerleaders prize. This prize will go to a challenge participant who cheers on the other participants and comments on reviews ( person will be decided by the Royal Reviewers).

I am such a sucker for challenges, but this one will actually help me with my others. I'll post my link a little later.
I'm a challenge addict too. I love to read as well.
Question. Shouldn't it be seven books in six months? Or can one overlap letters?
oh, gads, I'm so anal!
LOL yes Book Dragon, you are absolutely right. I will go and fix it now!
Have raided my bookshelf & I'm so happy I can just about complete this challenge without buying a book!!
Great idea!!!
This looks like a ton of fun!!!
Thanks for letting us play along.

I would like to join, will probably read Judith McNaught, Nora Roberts and Sandra Brown but the library never has what you want the day you want them.
This will make me read some romance novels again, haven't done that for years! :) Now I'll have a look into your lists, because I have no idea what I should read..
This sounds like a great challenge, and I'm addicted to challenges :D so I'm totally IN!!!
Hmmm it's hard for me to read a series of books in a row falling under one genre, but perhaps you can give us some good romance novel suggestions.
I am soooo excited. The homepage is just lovely. I need to find some titles. Thanks for having this challenge.
Which button is the right button?
I see the button.
Will have to withdraw my name for this wonderful challenge. I just have too many challenges unfinished. sniff, sniff.
Firstly thanks to everyone who has joined the challenge, I can't wait to start reading.
Asoom, you don't have to read the books in a row, just over the six months. I certainly never read that many romance novels in a row. I get too bored. But I will put up a suggestion list next week.
Oh goody! More Romance:) I'm in:)
I am in but where is the Mr Linky so we can sign up :) ..... Looking forward to doing this one :)
I think I'm going to participate in this one! Sounds fun :). I'll be back to sign up with Mr. Linky when I get my post together!

**MrLinky has been down for weeks now. I don't know if its working yet or not, but you might want to check on that for this challenge.
Ms Moonlight, this one is a new one and it is working I've tested it.
Sounds Fun! I'm taking part! =) Although I'm a bit confused with the Mr. Linky stuff... =/
Hi Linda, it's just an easy way of keeping track of everyone who has signed up. I will also put up a Mr Linky for your completed books, and then everyone can come and visit your blog and read your reviews.

Hi!
Great challenge! I added myself to Mr. Linky and now I'm ready to start reading!
It will be nice to read some romance in between the classics and other books I'm reading. I can't wait to get started.
I have a review to add to this challenge.
Should I add it under the sign-up Mr. Linky or is there going to be a seperate review Mr. Linky?
Thanks.
Have just posted a review for my first one for this challenge - Magic In The Wind by Christine Feehan The Eclectic Reader
