I want to do this too!!! Can I add as I go? I review for authors, so I don't always have a set book to read. Also, is this all year?

I will also join. And add as I go if that is alright.

Norma I am assuming this is an all year one. as its just 2017 in the topic name. Amy will have to correct me if I am wrong but I'm positive they are a yearly one.

Yes, I figured that one out. Hehe. I have no idea if I can set a plan for this because I have no idea what I will be reading due to the review factor.

Yep yearly challenge. Fill as you go and guess how many of the creatures you pick that you are going to read about. I always have a lot of vampires and shifters so I decided to see if I could get 25 of each of those.

crazy about the monster
30 Vampires -

30 Shifters -


I'm going to add in
Love the monster
15 Mage/Witch

15 Fae

Loving these new 2017 challenges. I will also add as I go.

I will definitely do this challenge! I'm probably going to have to change the categories as I read.

I want to participate and I love almost all the creatures. However, I am having the hardest time finding books to read anymore. Is there a good place to find some of the books. I have exhausted most of the listopedia from here, and many from the Amazon lists, so I am a bit in a bust.

On our group we have a few forums, I started one where people could list their top 25 PNR and/or UF in order of preference.
Top 25 favorite PNR and/or UF
You might find something in that post. or
Series so good you have to re-read them or
Reads and Recommends

I love Valerie's list, it is one that is voted upon every year but it is a different group. Also it is mainly Urban Fantasy so if you are looking for PNR, the other links above are better.
2016 list winners and positions & 2015 list
And I think the nominations and discussion gives a lot of new series ideas too.
Nominations for 2017 My only issue is that I could only nominate 3 series. I had 7.

@Vanessa- How was ? I have that on my TBR and I have an ARC of a spin off.

I really enjoyed Dead Spots. The main character was a null so everyone else's "magic" disappeared when close to her. Made for a really interesting take on the powers of werewolves and vampires.

I need to move it up my list.

Wow, last year vampires and fae were my faster ones to fill. Guess I'm just not reading as many of the vampire books right now.

I'll try for 10 of each:
