The Lost Challenges discussion

I was noticing that myself. I have exactly 1 title (currently) starting with the word "Your's", and 4 books by authors with a Y in the names -- here's hoping I like the authors' writing styles.
I'll give it a try. Not sure when I'll officially start. Probably wait until after Bingo wraps up. :D

I've had some luck cross-challenging Bingo books. ;-) But I agree, it can be hard. I haven't even checked if my current read for Bingo fits the Jim Henson challenge (probably not -- but I'll still check).

BONUS:

I was holding off on this one too for that reason and others but I had an idea and I thought I would share it. Since 'day' is part of them all, I am going to choose 3 different series where either the author's first or last name satisfies 'd', 'a', or 'y'. It will ge me through some series I am interested in, and keep me from loosing my mind looking for the same letter over and over.
Suggestion for 'y': I'll be reading The Sisters of the Moon by Yasmine Galenorn. There are 9 books currently (with another to be published in Nov. and the 12th in Feb) so there are plenty for the challenge. :) The author name is a great way to meet the 'day' part of the challenge! :)


That's a great idea! I have the first book in Galenorn's series. If I like her, then it will solve my problem. :-)
I think I will use the Midnight Breed series for the "A" in day. I've already read the first two, so this will help me get caught up!

@ Babbling: That is perfect! Midnight Breed will work great for me too! I have read the first two and even have the third scheduled for another challenge this month. WHOOT! Thanks for the suggestion. :)

You're welcome! I'm using some of the s's to get caught up with the Psy-Changeling. I've spent the last few hours looking slotting books into spots (I got about half -- I could have filled all (except the ys), but I'm leaving some open for cross-challenge books.

I looked at what you're reading for Bingo -- are you doing the Genre Juice Challenge at SOS? Your book is about a witch, yes? It fits all three categories. ;-) It's an urban fantasy, it features a witch (if that's what she is), and one of the cover choices is a woman. ;-)
Mine will also fit the cover choice for that challenge (it also fits for Mr. Snuffy on the Henson challenge -- she doesn't know a whole lot about her family/past).
