While I really don't need to add another challenge to my plate, I have to admit that this one appeals to me in many ways. First, I love fantasy, second, I love folklore, third I love mythology, and last I adore the play Midsummer's Nights Dream. So it is a win win situation.
The challenge is hosted by Stainless Steel Droppings and I adore the banner. The art work is amazing. You can read more about the artist at the host's blog along with the various categories for the challenge.
I will be attempting Quest the Third, which requires me to read five books that fit into fantasy, or folklore, or fairy tales, or mythology…or five books that might be a combination from the four genres. The other requirement for this Quest is to read A Midsummer's Nights Dream. I have loved this play since I was a kid. I actually read it and performed the play when I was in eighth grade. (I played Helena one night and Peter Bottom on another night), what a hoot.
The Magician by Leo Grossman
Voices of Dragons by Carrie Vaughn
Princess of Glass by Jessica Day George
Flight of the Dragons by Susan Fletcher
Mira, Mirror by Metie Ivie Harrison
If you read a lot of fantasy I would urge to check this challenge out. The challenge runs through June 20 so don't wait too long.

I am curious about the book, The Dwarves.. i've had it on my wish list but just haven't purchased it yet, I hope that is one you read and review as I'd like to hear some opinions on it!
have fun! this is a really fun challenge!
Always intrigued to see what you're up to! Great to see your A to Z book review list by the way - really organizes things. Thanks for commenting on my 2 teens on books interview. So glad you liked it! It is too bad the kids sometimes have to read books that don't engage them - inevitable though.
i have the magician on my shelf!this is a great challenge. but i dont think i will sign up for another ;p
I thought about signing up for this challenge, but I've signed-up for too many challenges already, so I'll probably skip this one (although I might change my mind). I have an award for you here: http://my-book-obsession.blogspot.com/2010/03/over-top-award.html
Fun challenge! I wish I had time for challenges, but I never do...good luck, and have fun! :)
