It's December again and Christmas is coming round again! I'm rather fond of the challenge I originally set in 2010 and which Shera posted in 2011 - so let's not waste time - we know this is a great challenge, it's seasonal & lots of us have loved it for the last two years.
December challenge - Presents challenge
Duration - December
December brings with it the Christmas season, we all love to receive presents on Christmas day so your challenge this month is to put together a list of books you would package up and give someone as an introduction to PNR/UF reading gift.
How to prepare your present.
1. Pick the size of package you would give:
Mini - two books
Small - four books
Medium - six books
Large - eight books
Extra Large - ten (or more) books
2. Choose your books. Keep within the guidelines below, remember the present should be PNR/UF focused!
a) Pick at least one PNR and one UF
b) Include more than one author in your box.
c) Have several paranormal creatures in your box, don't just have vampires makes sure there are shifters, faeries, witches, demons etc in there somewhere too!
d) One books which is somehow connected to the holiday season.
e) Try to include a mix of new and older books OR well known and up-and-coming authors.
The books do not have to be at the start of a series (unless you want!), the idea is a mixed box which would get the reader hooked :)
Any queries give me a shout!!
The how to......
***Please update your original post (see the participants list for easy finding) as you go along, you can post a finished post at the end too!!!***
Please post the level you want to attempt and come back to that post to update us all, you can do a finished post later too! The participants thread has a link to everyone's initial post.
We're keeping it simple here, use your judgement and given the nature of our group keep mostly in the PNR/UF genres, your interpretation of it that is :-) (max 1 out of 3 from others though please!)
