book? title only? combo of title/author? can we exclude words like A, An, The from titles?
We can do a book author combo! I like that idea.Yes, excluding A, An & The.

I try to get into challenges where I can use a book for many challenges. Makes me feel good. Too knock a few out at the same time.
Mad Scientist wrote: "I try to get into challenges where I can use a book for many challenges. Makes me feel good. Too knock a few out at the same time."On one of my groups I'm in, there is a section where you can post all the challenges you are in which is good.

Having a section for us to list all our "One Million Pages" Challenge Selections would be very beneficial. And definitely would help me keep all mine straight. 2012 hasn't even started and I'm getting confused as to which I'm in plus what they require.
We can add a folder if that is some thing everyone would like. Or add a few posts to your page folder.
Mad Scientist wrote: "We can add a folder if that is some thing everyone would like. Or add a few posts to your page folder."I vote for this type of folder.
Amy ~Lover of Books~ wrote: "I'm in because I love these spell it out challenges, but so many challenges in various groups that it's hard to try to keep up with them!"I agree! :D
I debated on this one, just because it seems like a lot, but I'm going to do it because I love this group so much! Plus since we can do a combo of Book and Author it may be easier to accomplish.O

My only question about this is do we need to post the title of the book or author in parentheses so people can know why it's counting for the letter we put it with?

Nice & organized. That is one good list!
Thanx, Mad Sci. Now to see how many fall into any of the other challenges I've entered.BTW, how did bingo end up last nite?
You had me searching away bc many on your list I've never heard of.Bingo was fun but none of us won. :( oh well. Maybe next year.
Glad to hear you found many new to you. Alot of these I found as a result of Good Reads, either from friend suggestions or when I entered to win the titles.If not Bingo, maybe the Lottery?
GoodReads is a great source of new book finds.
I think I'll only do the medium. The hard just has too many o's in it.O

I understand there are a lot of "O's" in the "Hard" area but since you can use title or author's name browse my list or Amazon for ideas? And as people start adding you mind see something to fit in.Your local library catalogue may help too.
Yeah I noticed all the O's, but I think I've actually got, like, 4 of them.
I'm more worried about the X, Y, & Z! I'm sure I won't have a problem with the O's. More like finding the time for all these wonderful challenges.

There is a challenge I came up with in another group and there is 7 Y's involved. I think the U's are hard to find sometimes.
I'm in for the hard challenge:21/34

Because I said so. At least that is what comes to mind.
How are we doing this, are we just updating our original post or do we repost it every time? I've been updating my original post but don't know if this will show up when I've done it......
It doesn't update. I normally update my original and post what I did finish on the thread.
