Edited to add some books that I might read for some themes.
I might need to switch some letters around or I will be reading way more ya, pnr and uf that I can stand in one year...
Switched the following letters, to better accommodate to my reading style and to read as many books as I can from the ones I already own:C - from coven to caste
D - from demon to detective
H - from horror to historian
I - from interstellar to immortal
M - from medium to mummy
P - from phoenix to priest
U - from unicorn to undercover
V - from vampires to vengeance
W - from werewolf to warrior
Y - from yeti to yarn (yes, I knit)
I think I managed a good list for what I had in mind: to read as many books as I own and to advance my incomplete series.I already own 16 of these books. From the ones I don't own, 5 are for series advancement so I would get them anyways. The 3 others are books that I wanted to read but that weren't high at my priority.

I was having trouble finding a substitute for yeti, but I then remembered I had this book at my owned but not read list. That's how yarn came to be in the list. ;)
Like your changes do you mind if I use some of them. Your list gave me some ideas on some of the topics I couldn't think of books for :)

Malazan has 'tarot'-y stuff in it?
I'm basically hesitating on the brink of this challenge...truth told, I have NO ideas what to read for each category...and so I was
It'll be very cool to see how everyone fills each letter, no?
I just had to stop and comment...tarot n all...
Oh and all the best with this one....and all your other reading plans for 2018#raidersforthewin
Salut! (I always double check the spelling since that episode happened, lol) Malazan has a sort of tarot in it and it appears often enough. :)
Good luck to you too! And most important: have fun!
Oh but chérie...I ALWAYS have fun...I've been meaning to get to know the ppl in Team Raiders I haven't talked much to yet...
I hope we are in a few BRs together next year.
And I am a hopeless knitter so that made me smile.

@Zaara, I think it is open date, but I will try to do mine in one year. :)I haven't been online much the last couple of weeks as it has been a busy time for me. It will get better after the holidays.

I usually prefer epic fantasy, but I started the Dresden Files recently and I'm loving it. Now I'm hunting for light, easy to read Urban Fantasy series (because I obviously don't have enough incomplete series). Nice Dragons Finish Last goes on my TBR!
Do it, start it, do it! More points, more points, MORE POINTS! :D
hahahaI am starting it now. :)
I normally prefer epic and grimdark fantasy. I decided to give this one a try because it was highly recommended by some goodreads friends.
