The January 2020 Romance Book Reading Challenge is On!
Are you ready to kick off 2020 with this yearโs romance book reading challenge?! Letโs do this.
This monthโs challenge is an easy start to kick us off. All you have to do is pick your choice of a contemporary romance book– and the choices are endless with this genre.
Contemporary Romance – Januaryโs Reading Challenge Selection
Contemporary romance novels, according to Romance Writers of America, are romance novels that are set from 1950 to the present that focus primarily on the romantic relationship, have a central love story and an emotionally satisfying ending.
Within contemporary romances as with other genres, books are also often catagorized by trope. Tropes give more information to the overall plot of the story. Popular romance book tropes include:
- Friends to Lovers
- Enemies to Lovers
- Second Chance Romance
- Fake Relationships
- Forbidden Love
- Jilted Bride
- Office Romance
- Opposites Attract
- and the list can go on!
To help you make your selection for this month, you can check out the lists below for suggested titles or view my favorite authors list and browse through their titles as you canโt go wrong with one of them.
Want to Increase the Challenge?
If youโre ready to read more than one romance book this month or really love this monthโs genre, then you can tackle the January monthly romance book reading challenge.
With this monthโs reading challenge, Iโve given you four additional categories for selecting a contemporary romance book read in January. You can try one, two, or all four. So if youโre up to reading more romance books this month, you can select:
- A 2019 Romance Book Favorite

- A 2019 Goodreads Choice Awards Romance Book Nominee
- A book from a new author to you
Whatโs My January 2020 Romance Book Challenge Selection?
Heartland
by Sarina Bowen
My January 2020 Romance Book Reading Challenge Selection is Heartland by Sarina Bowen. This is one of my most anticipated romance books for 2020 so I’m excited to dive right into this romance book by one of my most favorite authors this month.
Book 7 of the True North series, Heartland brings us Dylan’s story, which is a friends-to-lovers romance. Not just any friends-to-lovers romance, but it looks like one of my favorites – the relationship coach book, where Dylan is propositioned at college by his socially awkward best friend to tutor her outside the classroom. I can’t wait to see where that goes!
Whatโs Up Next in February?
