Sci-fi isn't my top sub-genre and yet I always seem to like the books I read within it.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

I'm going to wait until I finish my book cover challenge, but this is a great idea!

That's why I said no starting until January. That should give people time to get through most if not all of that challenge.

Good call on that one, I didn't notice the time rule until after I had commented on this one and opened up the general challenge thread. :)

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

I started to fill in things that were already on my TBR that I hope to get to early next year.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Kraken = nailed it.

I thought about trying to find one with a goldfish in it just to really tweak everybody. :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Hahaha dooo iittt. I'd accept it, for effort if nothing else.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Gemina has a pet fish in it... one that the paraplegic hacker struggles to keep alive throughout the book...

[Siobhan]

I don't remember any Fairies in Neverwhere... Is my memory terrible? Lol.

What I did to match these up was googled "best fantasy books...." and then fairies, demons, etc. They always led me back to GR but it's so much more direct to do it that way than use the GR search engine. Once I got to the best list I scrolled down until I found something already in my TBR. Obviously I'm somewhat dependant upon the lists to be accurate doing it that way and if it turns out the lists are wrong I'll remove the entry.

I imagine a few of these are going to be hard to fill and I'll need to open my search up.

[Siobhan]

I was thinking I'll have to Google some of these, like 'books with Yeti' etc, because until you've read something it can be hard to tell what's going to be part of the story!
That sounds like the best way of doing it to me.
I'm hoping to match these up with books that I already own and need to read as much as I can. :)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

This challenge is probably pretty easy if you're open to Paranormal Romance...

Yeti-shifter: The Bigger They Are...

Kraken: The Shark Who Rode a Seahorse (M/M Were-shark & Were-seahorse romance)... I haven't read this one, but I stumbled upon it a few years ago looking for weird shifters... I like the hybrids in Shelly Laurenston's books, but have rarely found anything similar outside of M/M, sadly...

Alchemy: Love Potion No. 9

I'm sure I could keep going...

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

I'll be finding PNR alternatives. I can only hack them in low dosages.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Me and PNR (romance in general) are on the outs right now, myself... but a few years ago I read A TON... which is where most of those ideas came from...but I can think of so many

Unicorn: Elder Races... Reincarnation: Dark Hunter... Demons: Dark Hunter... Lucifer/Hades: Demonica... Mediums: Karmic Consultants... Steampunk: Iron Seas... Griffin: Elder Races... Tarot: Elder Races novellas...
