It would have to fit with the Supernatural Underground (SU) ethos of course, which began as <em>&#8220;Books That Go Bump In The Night&#8221;<\/em> and is now <em>&#8220;Where Fiction Makes The Heart Beat Faster.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So although it&#8217;s not a strict requirement, I guess if there is to be a theme for 2019, it should be something in the quadrant of writing fiction that *may* make readers hearts beat just a little faster. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Although I know it&#8217;s &#8220;my&#8221; slot so I can post on anything I like, it would help me out to know what those who visit me here would feel motivated to rock on over to the SU to read. <em>Or<\/em> to read more about here, if that ends being a better fit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20366\" src=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BookSwornthumb.php_.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BookSwornthumb.php_.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/BookSwornthumb.php_-150x67.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My only caveat is that any idea, however inspired I think it, that will require a lot of work to realise as a theme or post series, is not one I will be able to initiate until AtBiD (After the Book&#8212;Wall #4 that is &#8212; is Done.)
