Shifter Challenge 2011
Join me today in the Shifter Challenge, where we celebrate those fantastically furred peeps that are quite normal except for the fact that they spend a good bit of their lives on four legs.
FAQs
Q: Can I read more than 20?
A: You can read as many as you want.
Q: Do I have to have a blog?
A: No, you don't have to. If you would like to sign up using an online profile go ahead and do that, just post in the comments section the books you've read.
Q: Do I have to know what books I'm going to read ahead of time?
A: No you do not. Pick them as you go, or have them all mapped out, it is up to you.
Q: Do I have to stick to a particular genre?
A: Nope, as long as it has a SHIFTER as a main character.
Q: If the book is about vampires, but their is a werebat or werecat in it does that count?
A: The shifter needs to be a main character. If there is a slight reference to a shifter in the novel that doesn't count.
Q: Does it matter what kind of shifter they character is, do WereSnakes count?
A: Any shifter you want, all cool. Now lets get this straight, for definitive purposes, we are defining a shifter as a human that changes into an animal, or an animal that turns into a human. Hence shifter = shifts from one form to the other. The other form being animal.

New Release Contest & Giveaway from Rachael Vincent
Rachael Vincent has a new release coming Jan. 1, My Soul To Steal in the Soul Screamers Series. In celebration she is holding a contest and giveaway WOOT WOOT! So stop on in to enter her CONTEST or you can purchase her book at Amazon or Borders.
Book Blurb:
Stop into her blog to enter by clicking the "Contest" up above. Good luck (you know I'm secretly hoping I win lol) But good luck anyways :).
Book Blurb:
YOU WANT MY SOUL AND MY BOYFRIEND?
Trying to work things out with
Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can’t just
pretend nothing happened. But “complicated” doesn’t even begin to describe their
relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to
take Nash back.
See, Sabine isn’t just an ordinary girl. She’s a mara,
the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people’s fears—and craft
them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she
survives.
And Sabine isn’t above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to
death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.
I DON'T THINK SO.
Stop into her blog to enter by clicking the "Contest" up above. Good luck (you know I'm secretly hoping I win lol) But good luck anyways :).
