Hi, I'm having problems accessing the behind the name website.

Could you post the names?

Thanks!

[kiki]

i, too, am unable to access that site. keeps giving me a "problem loading the page" error message. :(

isitdownrightnow dot com says the site is down. When it comes back up I will try to add a list.

[Donna]

If the book has more than one author, do both authors names have to meet this criteria?

[Bea]

I can't access the names list either, but I noticed that Nicole is in the task description. I have a book on my TBR by Nicola Griffith. I am thinking it may work?
