thanks, Bree! Not sure I need it, but nice to know I can! Also, as to the Daily Double - this is what I think I have to do for it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.The daily double is chosen from one category, but 2 different "clues". Or can you choose 1 clue from 2 different categories? So you would have a total of 27 books either way.

Okay, thanks!!
Bree, will Telegraph Avenue do for address?
Chaitra, I'm sorry I'm just seeing this (I don't know what's up with my notifications, half the time posts don't show up)...yes, that will work for address. :)
Thanks Bree! And I hear you - I turned the notifications off because I do a better job just trawling these threads than that automated thing. :)
I have notifications set just for certain threads because I need to keep up on them (mostly challenges I'm hosting, lol)...but it's SO annoying when it doesn't work...

jingles -would you say "Temptation" is a bad feeling (I'm desperate here lol) not sure if it fits any of the categories - no rush to answer

Yes, I think so. For me personally, it's a struggle which then brings on a bad feeling when I don't resist it....which I seldom do.
