Creature Challenge
This challenge is being resurrected; originally shared by Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) in 2010

Duration: one year (user defined start-stop date; on/after 1/1/22)
Goal: Read 10 books with the following creature as one of the main characters (or love interest)

1. Vampire
2. Werewolf
3. non-wolf shifter
4. sea creature (mermaid, etc.)
5. angel (good or bad)
6. demon
7. fae or fairy
8. human with paranormal abilities (like Sookie, for example; Gods or demigods fall in this category)
9. hobbit, gnome, dwarf or little person of some kind
10. ghost, zombie, spirit or someone "back from the dead"

BONUS or ALTERNATE: Read one book with a character who is half human/half animal such as centaur, satyr, faun, etc. This can be a main character or smaller character for this one.

- Re-reads are okay.
- Books do not have to ALL be PNR/UF but MOST should be. The main focus of the challenge is the creatures.
- You can post a list or post as you go and you can change your list at any time.
Cross challenging is a-ok :)

***EDIT***If you are having a particularly hard time with any category you can use supporting characters. Please try to make MOST of the categories the main character/love because it will make it interesting for people looking for reads in those categories, for example if someone LOVES mermaids or angels etc. :)
