I was able to add one more author after a long time. 18 down, 8 to go. Unfortunately it won't happen before my birthday.

[LaLaLa Laura]

your bday is the 26th of this month right?

[Anil]

Yes, Laura. It is a special one. I'm turning 30!

[Jayme]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for the letter U? That is the last letter that I have and two weeks to knock it out. Thanks in advance for your help :)

[LaLaLa Laura]

John Updike
Ursula le Guin who wrote The Lathe of Heaven

[Elsbeth]

Oh, I only just realized this challenge ends tomorrow... Luckily I could add 2 more writers, but with 3 still open, this is a challenge I won't be able to finish in time. I'll try to finish it (for myself) in the next few months...

[Anil]

My challenge ends tomorrow as well, and I am also unable to finish it in time. Still 18 out of 26 is a good number.:)

[Lauri]

Oh no, I will also be unable to finish the challenge. I was able to do 20 out of 26.

[LaLaLa Laura]

elsbeth, Laurie, and Anil... you all have done a great job! !!

[Elsbeth]

Thanks, Laura!

[Anil]

Thanks, Laura.

[Jayme]

25/26 Will still finish that last "U" book, but with school starting maybe not until Sept/Oct.

[LaLaLa Laura]

What challenge? Will you/we be doing this same challenge again for another year - that is, start anew? I would like that!

[Anil]

Elsbeth wrote: "What challenge? Will you/we be doing this same challenge again for another year - that is, start anew? I would like that! "

I would like to do another one and compare it to my previous challenge. We could start a new one commencing today and ending 24 August 2015.

[♦Ashley♦]

@Laura: I could post a few challenge ideas if you would like.

[Elsbeth]

@Anil:
Count me in. I started this one late and realized too late that it almost ended, so I'd like to try it again (starting with the difficult ones ;)...)!
