Thanks, I was trying to avoid having to use Forest of Hands and teeth and also trying to avoid adding a whole new series to my already giant 2012 list.
But I've found that Discord's Apple is available at my very limite library so I'm going to go with that. :)
The thing with The Forest of Hands and Teeth though is the first 2 books of the trilogy fill 2 different catergories.And it's not like starting a whole new series - coz it's only a trilogy.

I know, I was thinking that too, which is definitely a plus. But I read her short story (Carrie Ryan's) in Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions and found it dull so now it's put me off a little bit from reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth. I know it's not a short story from the same world as the books (at least I think it's not) but it sounds like a similar premise. And I know I shouldn't judge a book by an author's short story.
They can be quite slow, but very cinematic in places. I don't do Zombies, but i didn't really feel that these were Zombie books - if that makes any sense.
ROFLMAO Charlotte, glad you don't DO zombies!
They'd fall to bits anyway

Welcome Zabel ;)

Thanks Sandra!! :D
Thanks Sandra!! :D
Zabel, now you've "made me" have a look, your categories look a bit wrong. There are only 20 categories in this challenge. Have you got this one mixed up, possibly with I Spy #2 which is series names? Though there are only 20 categories there as well.
Definitely no 7 Deadly Sins in either challenge.
*Looking Perplexed*
I count 24 categories. But the categories (aside from 7 Deadly Sins that doesn't exist) seem out of order and titled differently.eta: Zabel, now that I've had a closer look I think Sandra is definitely right, you must have mixed up challenge threads. There are a few categories in your list that are not part of this challenge. (Jewelry, cultural movements, public displays of affection)

@Sandra and Julianne
ah!!! ok... you are right, I'll change it...I thought I could work on the categories, but now that I read again, I've realized that we could work our imagination on the italic suggestions and not on the categories.... *sorry* :D

PS - "7 Deadly Sins" was a good one :D (ahaha I really got inspired)...I'll try not to perplex anyone in the future... ;)
Zabel, if you want to read 24/25 categories you are welcome, it was just that I didn't realise that was what you were doing. As long as all the original categories are covered you can go for it :)
I was wondering, could I use "babies" as "things that grow" or were you looking for things that grow out in nature, like plants?
Well there are already people categories, so we were looking for plants/trees, etc.
Sandra wrote: "Well there are already people categories, so we were looking for plants/trees, etc."That's what I thought. I've got a plant book in the works, it's just taking me forever to get to it. And I've been looking for any excuse to use this title in challenges: The Zillionaire Vampire Cowboy's Secret Werewolf Babies, but I've already covered the paranormal being category.
That title alone cracks me up!
Yep, I checked that one out last month when someone put it in a challenge in another group, and we all cracked up :DDDD
Christine wrote: "The Zillionaire Vampire Cowboy's Secret Werewolf Babies"Yes, Christine, I saw that one too. I have it lined up to read for my "Z" in a title challenge I'm doing. LOL! Too funny.

I'll warn you to leave your brain on page one. It's just plain stupid fun, but I did find myself laughing out loud at some of it.
