A to Z Challenge - Day 20: T is for Tele . . . something!

Hey guys! This month is going to be awesome because I'm participating in the A to Z Challenge. That means I'll be posting every day but Sundays on a letter themed topic and I'm going to try to involve the paranormal as much as possible.

The paranormal beings for today are the Telepath and the Telekinetic. Both are beings with superior minds. The telepath can read minds while the telekinetic can use their mind to move objects. Both of these super-human beings are popular in literature and pop culture. I, for one, love reading about and seeing movie or shows with telekinetics. Telepaths kinda freak me out. The thought of someone reading your mind is mortifying. There is one book, however where I found a telepath amusing. The book is Into You by Riley J. Ford. It's about a girl who finds out that she can hear people's thoughts when she kisses them. A murder mystery breaks out and she must use her powers to find the killer. It's also quite funny, check it out!

Anyway, here are the "T" books: (Thanks to the word "the" it's a very long list and since I'm lazy, I stole it from my other blog www.bloggerbookfair.blogspot.com. This blog is where I run my bi-annual event, Blogger Book Fair. These links will take you to the promo page set up for each author which also contains the blurb for each book and links!)

  1. Hey. Telepaths and Telekinetics are great in paranormal fiction. So are Teleporters, though you have to work hard if your MC is the Teleporter, because they can pop out of a threatening situation.

    1. Aw how did I miss teleporters? Oh, well! Thank you for stopping by! You're right, that would be difficult. Although Jumper is a great teleporter movie and the characters there use electricity to keep jumpers where they are.
