Paranormal 11.11.11 Book Challenge
@Sans- (Way, way, way up in the thread). *gasp* Satyrs and centaurs are hot and sexy, how could you forget them? Lol. Jk. Your welcome. I wouldn't mind seeing more NEW fiction with those two types of creatures.
LOL! And where are the griffin/gryphon PNRs??
Oooooo. Good one! I see you have Divine by Mistake on your list. I LOVED that series. I am going to buy it one of these days and then re-read them. I read them all from the library...a book a day actually. Wonderful. Ten times better than her House of Night series, even though I like it too.

I updated the details again with info about the 2 levels."
No problem, Ashley. Great challenge by the way.
I was obsessed with griffins when I was younger (still am if I admit it). Hey, what about phoenix PNR? Or sphinx?
I think that would work also. Technically, those things are not PNR, in my book, to begin with. PNR pertains to ghosts, aliens, and animals such as Big Foot, the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, etc. Sphinx, phoenix, satyrs, griffins, and so on are more along the lines of mythical creatures to me. All depends on how technical you want to be.
When I talk about the challenge I call it a Supernatural challenge instead of Paranormal as most of my creatures are supernatural/mythical.
Interesting topic guys. I define my PNR creatures as all things mythical/supernatural. I don't separate the categories.
I try to separate them accurately. I have a paranormal, preternatural, and a supernatural bookshelf on GR. I'm just weird like that!However, for this challenge, when I get to it, I will definitely pretend I know nothing about the different classifications. :D
I genuinely don't know them all. I know a phoenix is a bird (thank you Harry Potter!) and a gargoyle is a statue(?). Never even heard of preternatural.
Here is what I base my classifications on. I found a website that labeled them just like G.L. Drummond has in the link below,. Of course, I cannot find the other website now. I like to classify things extensively and this breakdown made the most sense to me.http://feralintensity.com/2010/01/11/...
Thanks for the link, Rachel. It's really helpful.

I plan to do the hard challenge. I will post updates to my list as I remember. Here is my list of categories:1) Vampires
2) Werewolves
3) Angels
4) Demons
5) Witches/Sorcerers
6) Aliens/Stories concerning other planets, places, etc. (Not of Earth)
7) Assassins/Hunters/Investigators
8) Fae/Elves
9) Zombies/Mindless Dead/Ghosts
10) Dragons
11) Other (anything not covered by the above)
I'm in! I've already read so much urban fantasy that it will be a challenge to find titles that I haven't already passed over or previously enjoyed... here are my categories and everyone please feel free to browse my reading history for ideas. :D I think that I will do this challenge x 2; 11 categories, TWO books each. 11/11 is a bit much for me, since that would encompass a year's reading for me and I like to get some genre/non-fiction variety too.

Angie, I like the paw prints on your counter. Very fitting for this challenge! :)
Thanks...I was hoping to find a full moon to go with it, but all I could get as a half moon.
I have decided that I won't get a whole 121 books in for this by November. I'm going to have to overlap :( Maybe I'll wait towards the end to see how many I actually read without doing that. I keep getting sidetracked (like right now I'm reading Redemtion of Sarah Cain....then I bought The Hunger Games...). A few books into the challenge I found a book that I haven't been able to get into. Stray by Rachel Vincent. I might try later to get into it more. I decided to make a shelf for each catagory I'm using and will put in many books of that catagory. That way if I get bored with a book I can look to see what I can replace it with. Also with watching Twilight on tv I think I'm going to read the series again. I feel like I say "I" too much.....
I always feel like that too. It is kind of hard not to say "I" when you are talking about what you have done, discovered, thought, etc. though!

*I'm being sort of literal with the term "Others" because there are paranormal/supernatural beings simply called the Others in the books.
Well, it's been a few months, so thought I'd give an update. Here is my list of categories and books read and will read so far: 1) Vampires

2) The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde; 2/24
3) Cast in Shadows by Michelle Sagara; 3/30
4) Cast in Courtlight by Michelle Sagara;
As a side note, I am trying to read a book for each and not to double up on categories; i.e., Personal Demons can go in the Angels category and the Demons category, but I'm putting it in the Angels category at this time. I'm also including books that I have read before, but have been rereading and not posted under "currently reading".
Now, since I believe I am behind schedule, I think it's time to pick up the pace! :-)
I'm in! Even though it's late!11-11-11 Reading Challenge
From Nothing But Reading Challenges
11 Categories, 11 Books, by 11/11/11
I didn't want to "spoil" any of the stories for myself, so I've placed the books I haven't read in the category I could find that best fit, while skimming reviews and avoiding spoilers. If any of you think a book doesn't fit, please let me know!

Is it considered anal only to read series in order? I'm guilty of it then. I have to read a series in order to get the full effect, unless I'm rereading it and it's a long series (Discworld, Redwall, sometimes Harry Potter).
I hope the Supernatural books are good! I love the show, but don't think I'm brave enough to try the tie-ins.
No, not anal at all. I will only read series in order...I feel like they would not be numbered and or a series, if they weren't meant to be read in order. I also will not watch a movie before I have read the book. :)
