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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;• You must be 18 years old or older to join. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• 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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• 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 &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/anesthezea/iheartpaperbacks/mmrcii_largebanner2.png"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, if you'd like.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• 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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Books chosen can be any length, sub-genre, or format. eBooks, paperbacks, young adult books, audio books, and re-reads are all okay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Once the challenge starts, I'll create a page for everyone to post their reviews. Reviews are encouraged, but are entirely optional.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRIZES:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone who signs up for the challenge between now and January 31st will be eligible to win $15 in eBook Bucks from &lt;a href="http://www.allromanceebooks.com"&gt;All Romance Ebooks&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://iheartpaperbacks.com/?p=2199"&gt;SIGN UP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1446453420130625286-508421944759855030?l=mmromance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mmromance.blogspot.com/feeds/508421944759855030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mmromance.blogspot.com/2009/12/mm-romance-challenge-2010-sign-up.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1446453420130625286/posts/default/508421944759855030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1446453420130625286/posts/default/508421944759855030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mmromance.blogspot.com/2009/12/mm-romance-challenge-2010-sign-up.html' title='The M/M Romance Challenge 2010 - Sign Up'/><author><name>Anesthezea</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/paperdrink/icons/ane_pandp012.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446453420130625286.post-6593907535059572799</id><published>2009-03-20T01:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-20T01:04:25.010-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='M/M Romance I'/><title type='text'>The M/M Romance Challenge - Completed</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://iheartpaperbacks.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/mmromance_lgvert.gif" border="0"&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;This post serves as a way for participants to post their completed list of books read for the &lt;strong&gt;M/M Romance Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;.
