Tag, I’m it. You are looking at the new host of the 2017 Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge!!! When I was asked by Jess (Gone with the Words) and Danielle (Love at First Page) I knew I would be a good home for this challenge and I’m so happy to be your host in 2017.
The Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge was originally created and hosted by Pearl’s World of Romance, passed on to Fatin at Romance Book Maven, then passed on to Brianna at The Book Vixen, Then it was Gone with the Words and Love at First Page‘s turn. and is now hosted by Andi’s ABCs.

I heard about this challenge from Kristen’s 2017 Reading Challenges video! I convinced myself to sign up, when I heard Andi was in charge. I haven’t read as much contemporary as I would like in past years. This should be fun! I’m going to to shoot for 2nd Base( If I’m lucky, more!).
