Bunch of greek gods. They are complete idiots. Except maybe Athene.
21. Grim Reaper
Three Shadows by Cyril Pedrosa read 12.03.2014
Not sure about this one. The story features three shadows whose function is to guide the child to afterlife. But the form of these shadows are three serene looking young woman. So they do the grimm reaper job but do not have the traditional skeleton form. I may choose different book later.

43. Wendigo
Wendigo ja muita yliluonnollisia kauhukertomuksia 15.03.2016
I was telling my friend about this list and complaining that some creatures are way too hard to find. I named wendigo and she handed me this book. I should open my mouth more often.

Multiple witches in this story. Some more traditional than others.
50. Zombies

BONUS
I just want to add this as a separate thing. If things are too hard to find i will supplement with these. Besides i think there are far too many greek creatures and not enough from different myths. I'm not going to read hundred books from the same area, it would get boring really fast.

51.Baba Yaga
In The Forests of Serre by Patricia A McKillip 10.03.2014
The witch in this book is more Baba-yaga type which is not suprising since this book is retelling of russian folklore. And by adding this here I save the witch spot for more Western or modern type of witch.

52.Troll
Troll: A Love Story Ennen päivänlaskua ei voi by Sinisalo, Johanna 15.07.2014
Man finds a baby troll and tries to heal it and keep it as a pet. But can wild thing live among humans?

Mini congrats Jenn :)

[Savannah]

Oh, I love this group! I'm definitely in!

This was Sashana’s idea and I took it over. Hope you will have fun with it!

~ Mythical Creatures ~





DURATION: This might take you more than a year, so you set your own time limit.

RULES: Rereads are fine, if you don’t skim. So are audiobooks. There are three ways to do this challenge:
Option #1 - As an A – Z Spell-It-Out, similar to the Animal Alphabet Challenge. This is pretty straightforward. You can spell out one at a time, or work on several at once. Though there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, your book total could get into the hundreds.

Option #2A – Find 50 books about mythical creatures. The books must feature the creature pretty prominently in the storyline. Clearly indicate which creature is featured in your listing. No repeat creatures, of the ones you are choosing. (Repeats can be in the story, but not be the reason you are choosing the book. In otherwords, you can NOT choose vampire twice; nevertheless, they CAN appear in every book you select.) Expand your mythical knowledge. Why not be adventurous and choose a creature you’ve never read about before? Refer to Listopia for further help.

Option #2B – Added, by popular demand: Two for One. Read at the lower level of 25 books; however, they must have two mythical creatures within the storyline! Again, clearly indicate which two creatures are featured. Same rule applies: No repeats!
Here are a couple of websites to help you out:
www.mythicalcreatureslist.com - This is the link to one page; this site is huge! Use the alphabetical link near the top to find the letter you need.

Open Book Society Mythical Creatures
Spell-It-Out Example
Using authors’ names (first or last), titles, series title names’, types of creature, or characters’ names, spell out a mythical creature for each letter of the alphabet. Special Note: I chose all mythical creature books in my example; you do NOT have to do this.

D. - Daughters of Arianne, #1 - A Mermaid's Kiss, by Joey W. Hill
R. - Roc, a giant mythical bird in One Thousand and One Arabian Nights,
by Geraldine McCaughrean
A. - Andrews, Ilona = Fate's Edge
G. - Garcia, Kami = Beautiful Creatures
O. - Orcs, creatures in The Return of the King, by J.R.R. Tolkien. They have grotesque features
and often black, grey or greenish skinned (thus, are called Greenskins). Though fiercely
combative, they have no magically ability. But there are a heck of a lot of them!
N. - Nalini Singh = Tangle of Need




SOLVING for "X"
