Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

2020 Other Worlds Challenge
January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020

There are so many fictional worlds out there to discover—alien, fantastical, and even alternate Earths.

The goal for this challenge is to discover these new worlds by reading science fiction and fantasy romances. Here are the rules:

* Books must have a romance in them (but doesn't have to be primary genre).
* Books must be novella or novel length.
* Books can be any format (ebook, physical, or audio).
* Books must fall into one of the six categories below.
* Books can only be listed in one category below.
* Re-reads and challenge crossovers are fine! :)


Alien Worlds
(sci-fi or fantasy; other planets)


Alternate Earth
(dystopia, steampunk, magic realism, alt history, apocalyptic, urban fantasy)


Captain's Log
(sci-fi; spaceship is predominate setting)


Creatures
(paranormal; shifters, vampires, fairies, dragons, etc)


Into the Future
(futuristic Earth/Earthlings)


Wibbly Wobbly
(sci-fi or fantasy; time travel — to the past or future)
