2013 Paranormal Reading Challenge

Well, the new year is almost here, and since this is the first time I get to start a new year as a blogger I thought it would be great joining to a reading challenge and what could be better than a Paranormal one? Since this is one of my favorite genres, I think I'll have a lot of fun while trying to complete this challenge.

The 2013 Paranormal Reading Challenge is hosted by Megan Likes Books and Auntie Spinelli Reads.

The goal is to read one book featuring each of the following paranormal creatures: Vampires, Werewolves/Shifters, Fey, Angels/Nephilim, Mermaids, Dragons, Zombies, Demons, Witches/Wizards, Ghosts, Aliens & Other (ie: sirens, unicorns, centaurs, timetravel etc.).

Each month of the year will highlight one creature and we can choose any book about the monthly paranormal creature.

We can choose to read just one book for month or read as many as we can, so here's the order of the challenge's categories and some of my picks:

January - Vampires: My Blood Approves by Amanda Hocking

February - Angels/Nephilim: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

March - Fey: The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

April - Demons: The Demon Trapper's Daughter by Jana Oliver

May - Aliens: Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

June - Zombies: Hollowland by Amanda Hocking

July - Witches and Wizards: Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough

August - Mermaids: Of Poseidon by Anna Banks

September - Dragons: Vanish by Sophie Jordan

October - Ghosts: Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

November - Werewolves/Shape-shifters: The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong

December - Other (Time-travel): Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone

So here are my top 12 choices for this challenge. I still may add some more, so if you have any suggestions, please leave them in a comment below.

Review-A-Thon

Well, I'm an avid reader, but sometimes it takes me a while to review all the books that I've read, so I decided to join Ready, Set, Review-A-Thon hosted by Faye and Danie. It will last a whole month in which you can make up for all the time you spent wandering around and not reviewing books. So if you find it interesting and you want to join or just want more information, go here.

I'm really excited about getting all my reviews done this month. I've been reading a lot, but not reviewing so much. So... I though it would be better if I made a schedule for this event, because this way I have no excuse but to review what I have to. So, here it is the list of the books I'll be reviewing this week and when you will be able to find my review of them, here on my blog. Next Monday I'll post the review schedule for that week between November 12th and 18th. And so on, every Monday of this month I'll be posting the titles and covers of the books I'll be reviewing that week. Some days I may add some titles which aren't on schedule, as long as I read new books in the meantime.
