Goal: Read 2 books for each category for a total of 44 books
1. I wish I could shift into a Big cat
2. Visit a closed world (ie vampires exist but humans don't know it ... until they do either accidentally or purposefully)
Finale in the Legend of All Wolves series which is one of my top 5 UFR series.
book 1 in a new series. A closed off supernatural community that is warded against the world around it.3. Visit an open world (ie vampires walk among humans openly)
4. I'd frame that cover (be sure to show us that cover art ya love)

Any animal documentary!

7. It's raining men! (a book by a male author, featuring a male main character or male on the cover)
male author, male MC
male author, male MCs, males on cover8. This (fantasy-related) genre is my go-to when nothing else appeals

[insert all the self published books I've read here!]

17. Holiday plans (a book that focuses at least one chapter on or entirely around any holiday or celebration ie: Christmas, birthday, wedding/mating ceremony, etc)
18. Well, that's new (a book featuring something you found surprisingly refreshing and new - ie: new magic system, new shifter, new spin on vampires, shifters or other supernatural)
Cozy high fantasy!
a surprisingly steamy (short) romance with an over 50 couple!19. I really hate it when (whatever bugs me)
the narrators of the rare audio book I listen to almost ruins the actual content of the book which is really interesting ☹️
when power play sex suddenly pops up in a series when it wasn't in the previous volume. 20. Wet & Wild (ie: an aquatic shifter, located near/on the water or a boat, setting in a rainy local)
