Gabrielle Blaque/~Bhlack Benehvolence~ (werewolfgrl1) | 226 comments Cool! Thanks for the rec and the info! Like I said I'm really getting into the first book in her Maker's Song series and the confusion is starting to go away, but as I said before I think I found an author that I can really like!

So thanks again!


Gabrielle Blaque/~Bhlack Benehvolence~ (werewolfgrl1) | 226 comments Another slightly off topic question; I was wondering if someone who know could please give me either an official definition or there own definition of what an Urban Fantasy Novel is.

I tried to explain it to my mom but I just ended up confusing her and myself.

Thanks.


Unapologetic_Bookaholic If you can picture a city and add elements such as paranormal creatures, or a real city or location but with an altered state such as an event that causes the world to change (example I am Legend or Book of Eli). Same world as ours but it's either not our history, or filled with paranormal elements.

Take the words URBAN-populated city and FANTASY-altered state of being. So that is a basic explanation. Wiki also has a good explanation.

Bronwyn Rykiert | 140 comments I have just updated my earlier post with my books for this challenge. I have completed 11/15 now - only a couple to go and I don't think I will get there. Hopefully I will finish one more story.

You're doing great Bronwyn, keep it up!


Gabrielle Blaque/~Bhlack Benehvolence~ (werewolfgrl1) | 226 comments Hi everyone! I finished A Rush of Wings and you guys were right it was an awesome read! I can't wait to read the other ones in the series!

I did have one question though about the challenge, ya see A Rush of Wings took me a little longer to read than I thought it would so I might only have a enough of the month left for one more book.

My question was; well ya see I already had this books started and I'm thinking that I might be able to use it for what's left of this challenge, I was thinking about using the book for the Strong Woman part of the challenge.

Like I said though I had already started the book before I knew about this challenge so is that ok?
