Love Bus Tour + Contest
You may have heard about the 5 author tour from Harlequin that was happning through Illinois and Wisconsin? Well, one of the stops was close to me, and I got to meet Rachel Vincent and Gena Showalter! It was so awesome. I absolutely adore Rachel Vincent’s Soul Screamers series. I had had My Soul to Take for awhile, and for some crazy reason not read it until book 2, My Soul to Save’s release. I had been sick, and I remember right after I finished My Soul to Take I had my mom order me My Soul to Save so I could read more of the story! I still haven’t read anything by Gena Showalter, but Intertwined looks absolutely amazing.
I got my books signed, and also picked up My Soul to Keep which I cannot wait to read. I have a dire need of more Nash and more awesome story. Rachel Vincent also gave me A SOUL SCREAMERS SHIRT. I had to stop myself from happy dancing right there in the middle of KMart, because I’ve seen other people with those shirts, and thought they were just about the coolest thing ever. While I was there, I picked up an extra lovely signed copy of My Soul to Keep. PLUS Rachel Vincent was really awesome and gave me an extra shirt to give away.
SO…
1 winner will get a SIGNED paperback of My Soul to Keep and a Soul Screamers Shirt.
How to enter?
Answer this question:
Banshees are a creature you don’t hear a lot about in literature, but I think they are totally stellar and one of my favorites to read about. What is YOUR favorite creature to read about? & leave a way to contact you.

Well sadly this is going to sound totally obvious- But before you hate me…READ!
Vampires-and its not the recent buzz just that there was a time (before twilight) when this made me even more unique and crazy-i don't like sparkling vampires -.- sparkling in the sun is actually a characteristic of faries- but anyway vampires. I've been reading about them since i was about 5-6 and if i had to pick only one from the mythical and supernatural world it would be them…though i totally LOVE banchees and sirens and mermaids and faires are my second to vamps….shutting up now!!

To be honest, I DO love reading most vampire books. I also tend to enjoy zombie books a lot, and then magical beings such as the workers in Holly Black's White Cat.

Most paranormal books out today are about vampires, werewolves or witches. While my choice is in the shifter family, its not a wolf. I prefer werelopards. I blame Laurell Hamilton for that. I think they are sexy and sleek, and they can stalk you from the ground or from the trees. It would be nice to read about something other than the big 'it' in Hollywood.

The most fun thing I've read about is probably… Werewolves! That's very predictable but it's true :) there's tons of ways to write about them and they are just overall fun to read about :) banshees are a close favorite though!

I've always loved vampires the most but demons have become my creature of choice lately.

Angels and witches. I actually believe in real life angels so I find it fascinating to read about them, and witches because come on what girl doesn’t want to be a witch? I remember mixing up potions with bubble bath I think we've all been there!

My favorite would have to be werecats. Before reading Rachel Vincent's werecat series I honestly has not known about them but once I was about 1/2 way through book 1 with these creatures I was hooked. I think my fascination is rooted in the strength, grace and brilliance of these creatures.

I dunnno if they're called 'creatures' or not, but I enjoy reading about angels. Something along the lines of The Mortal Instruments, Hush, Hush. I've yet to find out why they fascinate me so much though. XD

I used to love vampires, but now they're everywere
So, I recently found faeries to be my new favorite creatures, I blame Melissa Marr for that one, I love how they are this tricky, devilish creatures looking out for themselves, they are really interesting to read about.

I would have to say Vampires or Werewolves :o) There are so many authors with different takes on both that it doesnt seem to get old.

I'd have to go with witches, they're classic and depending on the writer, their powers and capabilities change, I love seeing the new spins.

I LOVE reading about mystical creatures, like dragons and phoenixes. There aren't that many around.
I think we've got enough vampires, werewolves and faeries to last us a century..

I personally love the phoenix! Authors should try to stand out with new ideas rather than jump on the fad bandwagon.

I love all supernatural creatures so it's hard for me to choose. I guess I'd have to choose vampires because I've read several books about them and even though it's the same creature, every author gives them something new and different.

I love supernatural stuff, but more than anything I love stuff based off myths and folklore. If creatures/characters have a link Greek, Norse, etc myths I'm happy. With the current supernatural trend, they're popping up more which is awesome XD

I love reading about Werewolves. I find them more fascinating than vampires because they're mostly portrayed with strong animal instincts. Who doesn't want a primal creature? :D My most disliked would be Faeries. I never got them things.
Thanks for making it int'l!

I would have to say Greek Mythology creatures, because I find it really cool when they make up their own species…and names.
It really fascinates me.

I would say witches, doing magic would be an amazing help in my life, lol.

I love all the creatures in the Need Series, Shiver/Linger, and especially the Strange Angels Series. I love that Dru's only half human, just realizing it, and Graves is a loup-garou. You also encounter vampyres, werewolves, and zombies. There's tons of creatures in the series and it's cool to learn about them along with the characters in the books.

I enjoy reading about VAMPIRES! My 14yr old daughter was reading(what else?) Twilight sagas, and finally got me to read them too. Well I was hooked on "V" after that. I still can't get enough vampire books. But I have also ventured out to Weres as well.
