Who doesn’t love a man in uniform? I sure do! And I love reading about them too. They’re hot, resourceful and they’re always well equipped. Do you like reading books featuring men in uniform too? If so, then this is the reading challenge for you!
Reading Challenge Details:
- Runs January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013 (books read prior to 1/1/2013 do not count towards the challenge). You can join at anytime. Sign up on The Book Vixen’s blog.
- The goal is to read as many novels that feature men in uniform as you’d like. It can be a policeman, firefighter, paramedic, doctor, veterinarian, Army, Navy, Marine Corp., etc. – As long as the leading man wears some sort of uniform, it counts. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but no moving down.
- Books can be any format (bound, ebook, audio).
- Books can be any genre (contemporary romance, m/m romance, fiction, non-fiction, etc.).

I have all of Marliss Melton, Robyn Carr, Suzanne Brockman, 90% of The Men in Uniform series by Harlequin. Can I count this? It did occur in the last 2 years.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you read (or re-read) the books in 2013, and the hero wears a uniform, they count towards the challenge.
