Option C: The Most Dangerous Ones of All
For this challenge, all ten of your book choices must rate a 1 out of 10 (most dangerous hero of all) on the Dangerous Hero Scale. A number one has these qualities:
Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine).

Option D: Dangerous Hero World-Tour
This is a hold-over from last years’ challenge. Compile a list of fifty heroes from fifty different books that take place in fifty different locations. You may use a country more than once. You may not use a United State more than once. For example: You can use two locations in France, but you cannot use Paris or New York state (one city per state and one state per book, so if you use a book set in New York City, it means that you cannot use New York again) more than once. You can use fictional/mythical/otherworldly locations. Please note if the location is mythical in your listing.

Danielle's Urban Fantasy Challenge # 10 July 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012.Completed: X/9
Update:
1. Any Urban Fantasy Title:
2. An Urban Fantasy Title with two or more characters on the cover:
3. Any Fantasy OR Paranormal Romance Title (not strictly UF) :
4. Any book that’s part of a series you’ve already started. (In other words, any series book except Book #1 in that series.)
I may have gotten a little carried away with optional categories….
Optional Categories: ~ any genre
5. Cover Hunt: Book with no humans (or human-looking beings) on the cover
6. Independence Day: Read a book featuring a character or characters fighting for independence. From an oppressive government, parent, lover, etc.
7. Labor Day: Read a book with a main character who works a “normal” day job separate from the supernatural world. Examples would be: Georgina Kincaid who works in a bookstore and none of the humans there knows she’s really a succubus. Or Gin Blanco (of the Elemental Assassin series) who runs a restaurant in addition to her ‘other’ work.

Option C: The Most Dangerous Ones of All
For this challenge, all ten of your book choices must rate a 1 out of 10 (most dangerous hero of all) on the Dangerous Hero Scale. A number one has these qualities:
Completely lethal, seemingly remorseless, has no problem killing to get the job done, or killing as the job. Killing someone doesn't phase him. It's either him or them and don't let someone be after someone he loves. More or less amoral-except when it comes to things that have true value to him (like his heroine or his family). The mission is all that matters to him (at least until he falls for his heroine).

Option D: Dangerous Hero World-Tour
This is a hold-over from last years’ challenge. Compile a list of fifty heroes from fifty different books that take place in fifty different locations. You may use a country more than once. You may not use a United State more than once. For example: You can use two locations in France, but you cannot use Paris or New York state (one city per state and one state per book, so if you use a book set in New York City, it means that you cannot use New York again) more than once. You can use fictional/mythical/otherworldly locations. Please note if the location is mythical in your listing.

Danielle's UF Challenge # 11: October 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012All formats are accepted (print, ebooks, audiobooks). Rereads are fine as long as you actually reread the entire book and not just skim it.
Feel free to change your list at any time as needed.
Please note that the Optional Book categories are just that. Optional. You may choose to do none of them or all of them depending on how big of a challenge you want.
Basic Categories
1. Any Urban Fantasy Title:
2. An Urban Fantasy Title with a single character on the cover:
3. Any Fantasy OR Paranormal Romance Title (not strictly UF) :
4. Any book that was released in 2012.
This time, I’ve tried to keep the optional categories relatively simple.
Optional Categories: ~ any genre
Cover Hunt: Using October’s, November’s, and December’s birthstones as a guide (opal or pink tourmaline, topaz, and tanzanite or turquoise) , read a book with a predominately white, pink, yellow, or blue cover, or any combination of the four colors.
October 24 is United Nations Day: Read a book set in a country other than the one in which you live (fictional worlds count, too!)
November 21 is World Hello Day: Say hello to a new author or a new series
December 21 is the Solstice: Depending on your hemisphere this is either the shortest or longest day of the year. So for this one, you get to read two books:
a. Read a book with 200 or fewer pages
b. Read a book with 400 or more pages
Out With the Old: Read that book you’ve been putting off all year –OR- the book that will finally make you current in a favorite series (in other words: the most recent release in an ongoing series, or the final book in a series that has ended)
You may join the challenge up to the final day of December. If you get a late start it’s fine to back date with any books you started on October 1 or later.
