I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Challenge #2
Ethereal Reading Challenge

hosted at Riedel Fascination

Basic Requirements: REVIEWS of at least one line. Any format, length, demographic.

Spirituality inspires us but seldom meets in one place. I invite all mystical content! Angels, energy healing, animal communication, astrology, chakras, faith. The paranormal (phenomena that exists): ghosts, extra-sensory abilities. From miracles, to haunted house or witch fiction: we gather all etherealness together!

There are several levels but knowing I'll be reading the Psy-changeling series at the very least, I'm going for . . . Third Eye . . . and hope to read 11 - 20 titles that count.

Hello Gina! I'm thrilled to have you in "Ethereal"! I've looked forward to folks discovering my triad of new groups. I wanted a wide open place for all the unseen realities of life; the only one I know without zombies, werewolves, vampires. ;)

Thanks for your nice write-up. I can't wait to see everyone's books. Warmly, Carolyn. http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/riedel-reading-themes/
