Mythopoeic Award Challenge Here’s my own list for the Mythopoeic Award Challenge (which I’m running here at Foxy Writer!)

  1. Red Moon and Black Mountain by Joy Chant.
  2. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.
  3. Unicorn Mountain by Michael Bishop.
  4. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susanna Clarke.
  5. Solstice Wood by Patricia A McKillip.
  6. Owl in Love by Patrice Kindl.
  7. The Ladies of Grace Adieu by Susanna Clarke.

Unicorn Mountain sounded strange, and I like strange, so I figure that’s my total shot in the dark for this challenge. Although, I guess the same could be said for Owl in Love.

[EDIT: I've made some adjustments in the list since including the nominees list as part of the challenge. I'll still be reading A Midsummer Tempest, but since it's on my list for What's In A Name?, I swapped it out here with Inkheart, currently sitting on my shelf, loaned to me by one of my nieces possibly more than a year ago. I also have too much non-fiction waiting to be read here, so I swapped The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion with The Ladies of Grace Adieu.]
