Am loving Reaver at the minute. Loved all the other Lords of Deliverance and Demonica books, so I knew this one wouldn't disappoint! x

I've added underworld to Day of the Dead, the book I used has a cemetery though so matches with the first definition too.

Amy do you want to move this topic to the Howl-o-ween special folder?
or maybe you could post a challenges topic in that folder with links to current challenges and this challenge. ... just an idea.

List are already started here so a link would be better. I'll put it in over there. Or if you can move it to a different folder would the links still hold? I have a few link to it. I did post a subject and link to the challenge over there.

maybe have a topic for current challenges with links to the challenges in the event folder instead.

When you dont get the concept and dont know what to do or where to start from coz mostly all the Series I read have these creatures and otherworldly stuff considered as part of Halloween :/ so help me out xD can u suggest me some books to complete this challenge?

Yes, most people in this group do read a bunch of Halloween type creatures. I think this one is a little more ghost centered. But you can choose which of your book fit the categories and how many of the categories you want to fill. Try to challenge yourself.

I don't usually read ghost stories and will have to read another one (or reaper which again is not something I read often) that is if I don't want to substitute another creature. Here lies the challenge for me.

I would say the only thing you shouldn't be putting in the first 5 categories would be those not used as costumes, like psychics. So, I wouldn't put in Clean by Alex Hughes as they are all human (psychics not creatures). Also no repeat creatures for the first 5. You could break them down from what I posted differently like, 1. Vampire 2. Werewolf 3. Angel 4. Demon 5. Zombie, It might be more of a challenge to stick with the suggestions though.

The ones with foods and sweets can be hard as you frequently don't know ahead of time if there is a scene with a feast or food, that is unless you've read it before... Or the one with someone getting sick or over indulging, . The best you can do there is hope or find a cover or find it in the description.

Did that help?

Ye Thanks Ami I will try sorting books based on Different characters where the Main lead can be a Vamp, Angel or something else. IT would be easier this way......right now I am reading The Hammer of Thor which has Magnus as a einherji so this counts as Halloween realted book ig.

It is the Day of the Dead, or All Souls Day, and the last day of the challenge. I just put my 12th book in, using one bonus and skipping the sweets.

Whenever I think of this day, I think of the movie, The Book of Life.
