Urban Fantasy discussion

I hope no one minds me picking up the mantle for this quarters challenge. I’ve copied Theresa’s format and shall do my best!

These Book Reading Challenges are completely voluntary. Participation is NOT required if you aren't interested!

Challenge # 9 will run from April 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

Since this was posted a little late, feel free to back date to books you’ve started since April 1

- YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN BOOKS TO READ. Only trick is that you have to already own the book, be able to get it at the library, or borrow it during those three months. If you don't have any books on your TBR shelf at home or don't have access to a library and still want to participate, then pick up four new books if you wish.

If you want to change your selections at any time, that is fine.

Here are the categories for the book selection process - please note that the Optional Add'l Book categories change with every challenge. The Optional Add'l Book selections are for those individuals who wish for a bigger challenge:

(Definition of Urban Fantasy for this challenge: books with a vampire, werewolf, witch, or fae character or set in a UF world with some other mythical character or skill set)

* 1 Urban Fantasy Title featuring a female lead character
* 1 Urban Fantasy Title featuring a male lead character
* 1 Other Fantasy OR Paranormal Romance Title (not strictly UF)
* 1 Other book by an author you've never read before (expanding your horizons!) - any genre

ANY GENRE:
Optional Add'l Book: Science Fiction (can be straight sci-fi or a book with a sci-fi/futuristic twist)
* Optional Add'l Book - Cover Hunt: Book with green as the primary cover color OR some form or plant life on the cover
* Optional Add'l Book: Since this challenge covers April, May, and June, read a book for which the title or the author’s first or last name begins with either A, M, or J.


You may join the challenge up to the final day of June.

When you've completed a book for the challenge, please come back to this thread and post a NEW comment with something like this:

I totally want my own colony of mice. Think of the self-esteem boost. : ) I'd have to get a soundproof room for them for some of those late night festivals though...

A sound proof room would be a must with the mice. I loved the festivals that they celebrated.

Okay, guys, you need to stop. You're making me want to read this book, and I still haven't even read her October Daye series yet.

That is part of the evil that is Goodreads Christine. lol
