**Mythical Creatures (NbRC)**
Duration: 1 January 2013-?

*I'm in for the spell-it-out option! With 183 books to choose, I'm leaving my end date up in the air - I finish when I finish!

I'm drawing heavily from Celtic creatures, with a smattering of Native American and other bits and pieces. I've always had an interest in folklore (especially Celtic), so this challenge is perfect! ;)

Adh Seid: Irish spirits who haunt the homes of those who have done wrong, eventually causing the recipiant to loose their sanity. They can take various forms including frogs, a beautiful woman, or a black horse.

Completed: 5/7
A - The Baby Swap Miracle by Caroline Anderson 8 Jan ★★
D - The Snow Bride by Debbie Macomber 28 Jan ★★★
H - Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris 20 Jan ★★★★

S - The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy by Mary Street 3 Feb ★★★★
E -
I -
D - Proud Rancher, Precious Bundle by Donna Alward 11 Feb ★★★★


Beansidhe: aka Banshee. Appears as either a young woman combing her hair with a silver or golden comb or looking like an old woman washing shrouds, this Irish spirit keens/wails at an approaching death. Attached to particular families, she has counterparts in all the Celtic countries.

*For NaNoWriMo 2012, my UF featured a half-blood banshee main character - I'm still working on the editing, but it was fun looking into all (and there's a lot!) the mythology associated with this creature.

Completed: 3/9

A - Pride and Prejudice: An Authoritative Text, Backgrounds, Reviews and Essays in Criticism by Jane Austen, ed. Donald Gray 2 Feb ★★★★

Cu Sith: A large black/fairy dog found throughout the Celtic countries. Like the Beansidhe, hearing the bark of a Cu Sith foretells death, though it is possible to escape if you seek shelter before three barks are heard.

Completed: 3/6
C - Montana Midwife by Cassie Miles 13 Jan ★★★
U -

S -
I -
T - A Mother's Homecoming by Tanya Michaels 15 Feb ★★★
H - Mackenzie's Mountain in MacKenzie's Legacy by Linda Howard 10 Feb ★★★★
