TBR Challenge January 2023 – Starting Over

It’s 2023, and time for a fresh start to the TBR Challenge year! This month’s prompt is “starting over”, and we both found great ways to explore that theme. Lynn read a contemporary category romance featuring a heroine in need of a fresh start, both personally and professionally, while Caz picked up a historical m/m…

TBR Challenge, October 2022 – Flirting With Danger

“Flirting With Danger” sounded like a sure-fire win from the TBR prompt standpoint. We both enjoy romantic suspense, and there are some very talented authors working in the genre. Caz and I both chose category romance titles this month. While our picks were published almost twenty years apart, they had one thing in common –…

TBR Challenge September 2022 – Animals

This month’s TBR prompt, “Animals”, was a bit of a head scratcher. We both love animals, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to animal-centered romances. Lynn found a cozy romance between a cat lover and a dog lover, while Caz found herself a m/m romantic suspense featuring a cat-owning lead. So, what do you think about…

TBR Challenge August 2022 – Blue Collar

If you are one of the romance readers who are pretty much over reading about billionaires, this month’s TBR prompt is right up your alley. Since the prompt was “blue collar”, I started by digging into my stash of category romances. I tend to like stories about everyday, non-billionaire people, so I figured this would…

TBR Challenge May 2022 – Tales of Old

For someone who started out their romance reading career with historicals, a prompt like “Tales of Old” is the perfect catnip. Lynn and Caz took this prompt in rather different directions, with Lynn heading way back into the past with a tale of ninth century Vikings carving out a living in what is now Scotland,…

TBR Challenge April 2022 – Location, Location, Location

When your prompt is simply “Location, location, location,” the TBR Challenge can go all kinds of places (I know, I know…) Caz took this prompt and went for a romance set in a faraway corner of the world. Lynn went for romantic suspense featuring a code and an old house where the setting is practically…

TBR Challenge March 2022 – Grumpy

This month’s TBR challenge prompt of “grumpy” yielded almost an embarrassment of riches. After all, grouchy heroes aren’t exactly a rare find in Romlandia. And grumpy/sunshine romances are having a bit of a moment now, too. Lynn read a recent release that she had been longing to try. That one turns the trope on its…

TBR Challenge February 2022 – Fairy Tale

Fairy tale romance – now there’s a TBR prompt that can go in all kinds of different directions. When we talk about romance, we often talk about “fairytale romances.”  Lynn and Caz took this one to very different places this month. Caz picked a m/m paranormal with a spin on the Rumpelstiltskin story, while Lynn…

TBR Challenge January 2022 – Quickie

We’re midway through January 2022, and I still feel like I’m playing catch-up from 2021.  Who’s with me? The “Quickie”  TBR theme was exactly what I needed because my brain just doesn’t have bandwidth for more. I used this month to try a novella from a 2019 trilogy I’ve been meaning to read while Caz…
