Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments We have a lot of similar answers, Lori. I can't wait to see what books you choose to read for some of them.

I had a lot of fun picking books, but found some to fit, without even realizing it until I had read them.

Task #33. Would you rather encounter a ghost,, an alien or neither? I selected neither
Task Criteria: If neither, read a book about another supernatural being other than a ghost or alien.
The Coroner's Lunch Colin Cotterill
Task met because the main character became demon possessed (he knew things he could not have known and spoke a foreign language he had never known in a voice not his own). Many other things happened including his wife returning from the dead not in a ghostly form but in her own real body that he could see and feel.

message 20: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments So, do people who loose their sense of taste, loose weight because food no longer is as appealing to them any longer? I've wondered the same thing about loosing your sense of smell.
