Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Yz has asked me to post the challenge this month. It was one I suggested to her so I hope you all enjoy it :)

Have I Read This One Before?
Have you noticed that a lot of PNR and UF books have similar titles? Read a book that has one of the words in each list in it's title.

1 – Dark or Darkness or Darker
2 – Heat or Hot or Fire
3 – Passion or Kiss or Desire
4 – Magic or Spell or Witch
5 – Night or Midnight or Wolf
6 – Vampire or Blood or Bite
7 – Shadow or Deadly or Hunger
8 – Seduction or Lover or Mate
9 – Hunter or Eternal or Heart
10 – Angel or Demon or Dragon

You can pluralise the word but it has to be a seperate word, eg. Angel or Angels could be used but not Archangel.

Update
After a request I have asked Yz and even though it is not what we usually do she doesn't mind if we have different levels for this one as some people are struggling a bit.
Easy - 4 books
Medium - 7 books
Hard - all 10 books.

Any questions just let me know.

In

I'll give it a go.

Hi Ashley,

I hadn't thought about them but I think that would be a good idea as some may really struggle otherwise, so yes, those would be fine.

fun looking challenge -- I'm so overcommitted. i'll see if i can get a list together before officially signing up.

I am in but am struggling on titles. Luckily a lot of my free kindles meet the challenge.

Hi Drea,

That's fine.

Usually with this group you need to read all 10 to be able to complete it but most just do what they can.
I'll send Yz a message and see what she thinks about the different levels idea. I wouldn't mind at all but as these challenges were set up by her I'd rather get her say.

3 - Kiss and Tell - Sandy Lynn
4 - Scent of Magic - Maria V Snyder
