Told her it was toughie. : )*lurks to cheer the brave souls who will attempt this one*
Ooh, this is evil. But since I have a challenge addiction, I'm giving this one a maybe. I'll make a list on my challenges page and fill in stuff that fits, and if it look like it's working, I'm come post back here that I'm in. :)
Got an evil question for ya, Southpaw. Say I read a book that is the last published work in a series, as of right now. But...before the year is up for this challenge, another book comes out in the series. Does it negate the one I read & used for the challenge? Or will it still be acceptable since it was the last published work at the time I read it?Told you it was a evil question. ;)
I think it would be okay to count as long as it is the last book in the series at the time you read it.
Wicked, wicked little leftie! But, I love it! Don't know that I'll join, but love the idea. Way to put everyone through a REAL challenge, southpaw. :D
Steph you really should have used that whip! This is truly evil. When I get over the last rush for July challenges I'll have a look and see what's what.

AhHA! We've started corrupting you! I'm liking the sound of that, SP! >:) Move over contemps, got some new boys movin' in! hehe

southpaw, you can edit your original list if you want. You don't have to repost with changes. You can though, it's totally up to you.
Okay, thanks Steph. I wasn't sure how to do it here.
No worries, you can do it anyway you'd like. Some people prefer a new post for each, others like to edit original list. Up to you, my dear. Well, unless the creator of a challenge states otherwise, of course. :)
I'm in and I will post as I go
Hi Lizz...I'm glad to have some company in this madness :)

Oh, and everyone who is a-scared of this one, it wasn't as evil as I thought it would be. I have shelves on my TBR list for books coming out in the future, and that helped me a bunch. Go check out all the series that you're waiting on the next book and see when it comes out. If it's before July 2011, add it to the list. :)
That's a good idea, Laura. I may have to reconsider. :)

Of course, just like any A-Z challenge, there are always those difficult letters, "X", "Z", etc.
I'm glad you've decided to join me.

Hi Laura, We can just edit our original list. I think that's the way Steph indicated I should do it.
You are doing great by the way.
Ah, you didn't have to do that. You are welcome to update whichever way works best for you. But, thanks for remembering my quirkiness. :)

Yeah, they are. Part of the reason I dislike A-Zs. I am stuck on Q and U. I'll fill my Q with Queen Betsy though, if I ever get around to reading Davidson's latest. Oooh, I just found two for U that I have, but didn't know the series started with U. Yay! :) LOL!For your final 5: Have you thought about using "Women of the Otherworld" by Armstrong for your W? And didn't you read the last Jane Yellowrock this year? You can use that for your Y. And for X, you can use Sirantha Jax. :) Hope that helps!
And don't forget:
Addendum
*For those really difficult letters (Q, Y and Z) the following alternatives are acceptable:
**main character' first or last name starts with Q, Y or Z
**author's first or last name starts with Q, Y or Z
*For the letter "X" the following alternatives are acceptable:
**main character, author or series name has the letter "x" in it (for example: Adrian Phoenix: The Maker's Song, and so on)
I thought you didn't do this one? This isn't the series name one, it's the latest book in a series one. So you're going off the book title, not the series name. But I'm doing that one too. :)I have a W and an X I could read for this, but it ends in 11 days and I have arcs still to read by the 31st, as well as my last book for I Spy, which ends for me in 4 days. I figured since it was my challenge, I better finish it. :)
Oops! LMAO!! Nope, not in this one. *blush* Ignore me then.
LOL! Finish I Spy!!!!
can we still do this challenge? if so...I'm in!
Yes, absolutely, Catherine. Enjoy! :)
