Nah, we just already used those few we had :)
I'm checking if we can use female author for male name or even last names.
*rant* I just counted and I have 30 books that need sorting and adding to various challenges. I've been busy reading this month but slacking with updates *bangs head* And now when I see how many I have to do, I don't want to start. Like the number will be smaller tomorrow. *snorts*Why did I wait?!!!
*sigh* Looks like I'll have to find another audiobook to keep myself busy....
*rant over*
Aww that sucks. Audiobooks are my best friends :) Is there anything I can do?
Don't let me wait that long next time? :P

Funny thing is I have no idea how to handle it. Usually I'd make txt with info (that would be 2-3 books max) and than go through challenges to see where to fit them. But with so many...Should I go book by book through all challenges? In smaller batches? I'm afraid I'll forget what book I used with so many and use it more then once in challenge if I do all at once :)
I think I'm going to be surprised how many RPG quests I have solved. Or not. i still tend to drop them in tote and don't want to use them in case something better comes.
Oh, no! RPG! I haven't killed anything in a month! *cries* so many exp lost

OMG you just reminded me that I haven't done anything in awhile on RPG. Oh boy I'mreally behind on killing. SMH. I guess I'll see what I can come up with but I'm definitely going to pay attention for the next one. We are having an RPG next year right?
Well...Tea.....start sorting...because it'll only keep escalating!!! Hahahaha :)
*looks scared*You think my books are going to have baby books?! But... but those won't work here!

LMBO
Can you check author's names again? We can use female authors for male list. But it has to be first name.I'm stuck with updating challenges (I really do have a problem - there are too many of them!) and spreadsheets keep crashing for me for some reason :(
Ok I'm on it :)
Tea....I kjow what lol is..haha :) Excuses, excuses....crashung spreadsheets?!?? Really?!?!?
As for too many books.....have you ventured a gander at my tbr list?!?!?!?

Baby books? Um...I hope not!! I'll be in even more serious trouble than I am now!!!
Ok we have Alex so I'm going to ask the Mods if we can us it for Alexander. We also have Sophie but it's posted 8/15 so I'm not sure if the time between new round.

Sorry! I messed up again with books so we have one extra task to read.
Tea we need to change Alex for Alexander. I asked the Mods and was told no but we have Sophie but I'm still not sure about the timeline. Can you check? If not I read a male author book with one of the names on the list.

Yeah I just realized that Hahahaha I'll look for a male :) I'm almost done with Garden Spells and then I'll work on it.
I started on 101-200 list book. It's 15h long *sigh* At least it should be long enough for me to update my challenges. :PAnd I managed to remove 5 books from my 'unsorted' list, but added another one and second is on the way *sigh*
I need intervention :P
