Jane, we prefer that books are paranormal in nature, but if you just cannot find a book to match the task, it's OK to venture out for this challenge. Other challenges may require all books be paranormal.
For this challenge, just please do your best to at least keep the majority of your books paranormal.

Jane Thanks Krysta, I will.
