The Royal Reading Challenge is a 2019 reading challenge where you read royal themed books. It is hosted @ She's Got Books On Her Mind.
Gasp! I'm bringing back the Royal Challenge I created back in 2016. I added "reading" into the name which I think looks better. I created my Pick-a-Theme Challenge for 2019 and while I was doing so I started thinking about my other two challenges. I know someone does a challenge like my past Reading Road Trip challenge so I didn't think it would be a good idea to bring that one back but my royal challenge is something I've never seen anyone else do. I love reading stories with princesses or corrupt kingdoms. I know there are a lot of historical stories on real life royalty which could be interesting to read about as well. So why not?
Read books that have a royal theme.
Examples: Books that center around anyone with a royal title (Prince, Princess, Queen, Duke, etc.), knights, castles, kingdoms, or heroic quests.
- You can read any type of books for this challenge. Picture books, graphic novels, manga, and audio books are allowed in this challenge.
- Re-reads are allowed as long as you don't use the same book twice.
- You may join whether or not you have a blog. You can join through Goodreads, twitter, or any other appropriate site.
- Every month there will be a wrap-up post available. You can add reviews, discussions, and view other readers progresses through that post. If you want you can just comment what you've read as well.

Yay! I'm happy to have it back as well.
DeleteFun idea. I don't know that I've read many "royal" type of books. I like that you can read any type though - picture book, graphic novel, etc.

I usually read princess/fairy tale retellings. I love anything with princesses and castles. I'll probably try to read some manga or graphic novels with princesses. We will see.
DeleteI'm in! Maybe now I will finally tackle the Red Queen series! Thanks for hosting
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you love the series.
DeleteFun challenge! I don't think that I read too many royal books but they do seem really popular.
ReplyDeleteYes, more than ever I see a lot of royal reads being published.
DeleteOooh this sounds like a great challenge. I don't do challenges, but I really like the sound of this one <3 I read a lot of books that would fit into this category!
ReplyDeleteIf you end up reading any you can always share them in the comments section of the link-ups. I might make a list of royal reads in the future.
Deletesharing on the Sunday Post. I may add this one for some fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I wouldn't be surprised if you read a good amount of royal reads next year.
DeleteSounds like a fun challenge. I will have to look at my TBR list and see if I have enough books on this theme to participate.
ReplyDeleteThat would be wonderful if you joined! No pressure though. If you do end up reading any let me know! I'd love to see them.
DeleteGood luck to everybody! It sounds like a fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the luck!
DeleteI'll probably take part in this as I have Tudor and Plantagenet fiction to get stuck into as well as non fiction on our UK Royal family. I won't be posting my first blog post until the start of January though.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I look forward to reading about your royal book selections.
DeleteYou are awesome for hosting so many challenges! I think I am just sticking to the Beat the Backlist challenge and the Goodreads challenge for now. If I sign up for too many I know I will fail them all. lol :)
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you are doing a challenge at all since I don't think I've seen you do one before. Good luck with the challenge! I'll be competing against you in Hufflepuff.
DeleteThanks for hosting, can't wait to start reading!
