Romanceopoly 2019 Wrap Up

We did it! We both completed our Romanceopoly boards, achieving The Native level.

We've had so much fun with this challenge. Thanks Under the Covers and Peace Love Books for hosting this awesome challenge! We discovered several new authors, read new genres, and made a dent in our backlist TBRs. We can't wait to start on next year's board! (For more on that, check out our 2020 Reading Challenge sign up post.) But first, here's a look back at what we read for the 2019 Romanceopoly reading challenge.
