Can you ever sign up for too many? Or is asking that question a clear sign that I need an intervention?

Christine--no its NOT a sign that you need an intervention. Now if you are driving up the Interstate at 65 miles an hour with a book in one hand and an e-reader in the other hand--THEN you might need an intervention.

Mandy | 61 comments Hello, can someone please let me know which category this book falls into Venom (Elemental Assassin, #3) by Jennifer Estep .
She is a assasin with elemental powers. So should I put it under # 6, 9 or 10

I think any of those apply; if it was me I would put it in the spot that I couldn't use on other books I planned to use for the challenge. Hope that helps :) On a side note The Elemental Assasins series is one of my favs :)

Mandy I agree with Julie -- she fits in all three categories. Which category do you not have another book for?


message 114: by Ann aka Iftcan (new)

Ann aka Iftcan (iftcan) | 2659 comments Mod
I've used the series in challenges myself--and I know at least once, I changed which category I used it in, because I decided that it fit better for ME in the second one. I tend to not choose my books ahead of time, since I'm more the "whatever mood I'm in when I finish a book is what I'm going to read next" kind of person.

So put it in whatever category you want, then if you find you can use it better in one of the others, move it.

Danielle (dwinje) | 277 comments Also.... So I've totally read the whole Lora Leigh Breeds series and I chose Lawe's Justice for the 'shifters' category. However my brain just pieced together what I already knew, that he doesn't shape shift. He's just part lion. If anyone else gets my dilemma please tell me if I need to pick a different book for the 'shifter' category.

Hmmm, if you have no other place to put it(I put a breeds book in #10 myself but I have another in the #3 spot) than you could get away with it as a shifter. I mean they do have animal characteristics( animal pelt,enhanced eye sight, smell, hearing,sharp teeth, etc...Also I am reading/re-reading my way through the breed series(anthologies and all) :)

Hey Wyz--I just realized one "fantastic" creature that you don't have in this challenge. ZOMBIES. The reason I noticed this is that I'm in the middle of a new series. Married with Zombies is the first one in the series. I'm now on Flip this Zombie. They are somewhat funny--book 1 has all this "marriage" advice that can be adapted to surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse. But the first book DOES start with our heroine and hero at the office of their marriage councellor. Who turns out to be their first zombie kill. Haven't figured out what the chapter headings are for book 2 yet, but then I've just started it.
