Amy wrote: "are rereads ok?"

Yes. :)

[Cristina]

Oh, so ummmmm....what exactly is the definition of monster??

[Beth]

I was wondering the same thing Cristina!

[Michele]

Um monsters we will classify as zombies, demons anything that is scary and goes bump in the night that is evil. Or perhaps an "of unknown origin" type scary thing. Haha, I didn't really think that through huh? :/. The mortal instruments series comes to mind bc of all the demons they kill.

I might miss out on completing the next couple of challenges :(

[Shari]

I just finished the first 2 books in the Dark Betrayal Trilogy. I'm glad I decided on these books for this challenge, otherwise I don't know when I would have eventually chose to read them. They weren't what I expected. I have moved them to my favorites list. So, I guess you could say I'm glad I decided to try this challenge.

[Beth]
