Haha...so would I! I'm hopeless with heels!
Btw, I had a question...it's really bit silly but I thought I'd better clear it up anyway.
I'm thinking of starting this challenge and going for 'Easy' level that ranges from 6-10. So I wanted to confirm whether it's supposed to be 6-10 books or 6-10 pairs of books? Because I have just 6 books with antonyms in their titles...so I have only 3 pairs effectively.

Thanks for clarifying Lisa :)
