Uber User Posts: 265 Location: Neither here...nor there | Welcome to the challenge dustydigger! I'm a huge fan of vamp lit. I used to read a lot vampire books but stopped reading them for awhile because they had gotten so trendy (coughtwilightcough). I don't think I've ever read anything with werewolves or zombies but have a few that I want to check out in this challenge. Off to see what books you've selected!

Uber User Posts: 370 Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA | Hi everyone! I've joined this challenge after realizing I've read books about vampires, werewolves, Grendel, and a gollum. I'm about halfway through another vampire book and will be reading a zombie novel next. | ||

Uber User Posts: 265 Location: Neither here...nor there | Welcome spoltz! Good call on the golem.....I never even considered it/her a "monster".....but yes, absolutely. And The Golem and the Jinni is such an excellent book! | ||

Uber User Posts: 265 Location: Neither here...nor there | State of the Challenge (as of today Sept. 3) 6 participants 30 books read 18 books reviewed 3 participants have completed the challenge. The other three have each read 4 of the required 6 books. I quite enjoyed A Taste of Blood Wine (vampire lit) but the other 3 books I've read were rather "meh." I have high expectations for the remaining two books - Fledgling by Octavia Butler (one of my favorite authors) and Sunshine by Robin McKinley (which won the Mythopoeic award). Has everyone else been enjoying their time with monsters? | ||
