The first creature I'm adding is my all-favourite. It's the Bulgarian Samodiva.
I wrote a 20 page paper in German a few years ago, comparing faeries, elves and samodivi. That is how much I love them :). This is a nice image, although it's not exactly how I imagine them :). I'll read the books some time in the summer, when I go back to Bulgaria, I guess. Unless I find it online, I just so feel like reading the tales already :D. Btw, I've just added the book and the author to GR, it might take some time until I update the pages. It's such a pity it is unknown outside of Bulgaria, I might translate it some day. After all, I'm considering it as a career path anyway ;). And the books is absolutely worth it. Nikolay Raynov's and Andersen's fairy-tales had such an impact on me as a child, I would be an absolutely different person, had I not grown up with them. And no, I'm not exaggerating.

~ Mythical Creatures ~
DURATION: This might take you more than a year, so you set your own time limit.
RULES: Rereads are fine, if you don’t skim. So are audiobooks. There are three ways to do this challenge: Here are a couple of websites to help you out: Spell-It-Out Example
Using authors’ names (first or last), titles, series title names’, types of creature, or characters’ names, spell out a mythical creature for each letter of the alphabet. Special Note: I chose all mythical creature books in my example; you do NOT have to do this.
D. - Daughters of Arianne, #1 - A Mermaid's Kiss, by Joey W. Hill
R. - Roc, a giant mythical bird in One Thousand and One Arabian Nights,
by Geraldine McCaughrean
A. - Andrews, Ilona = Fate's Edge
G. - Garcia, Kami = Beautiful Creatures
O. - Orcs, creatures in The Return of the King, by J.R.R. Tolkien. They have grotesque features
and often black, grey or greenish skinned (thus, are called Greenskins). Though fiercely
combative, they have no magically ability. But there are a heck of a lot of them!
N. - Nalini Singh = Tangle of Need
SOLVING for "X"
Just under a spoiler to make the post less long. (view spoiler)[
I will allow "X" anywhere in the title, the author's name, or the creature's name.
If you are a purist, here is what I have below, some of which are from Project Guttenburg, which is free.
There is also the series Xxan War,#1 -Close Enough to Human, by Brenna Lyons you could use; be warned, it is erotica. (I don't know if it is any good; I haven't read it.)
