Listopia REALLY needs a better search and sorting system for the major genres, like date created and number of books. *sigh* It would also be nice if they required at least 50 or 100 books before creating a list. All those 1 and 2 book lists are just clogging things up. Grr...*ends rant*Here's what I found:
The Best Time Travel Romance Novels
Best Romantic Suspense
I Love A Man In Uniform
Favorite Western-Cowboy Romance Novels
Best ADULT Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance
A Thin Line: Love/Hate RelationshipsRomance Short Stories and Novellas
Panty Melting Book Boyfriends
Best YA/New Adult Contemporary Romance
Best Dysfunctional Romances
College Romance
Well-written M/F Steamy Romance (with Little or no BDSM)
Controlling Sexy Possessive MenSmut for the smart
Funny Witty Romance Novels
Best Romance Series
My Favourite Historical Romance
Becky - I totally agree! I also wish you could hide certain books so they just don't appear (hello 50 shades, I don't need to see you on every darn list!)
anyone really excel saavy who wants to help a poor mod out?
I'm a whiz at Excel, but I can't do 
Some of my favorites:Young Adult Books Without Love Triangles
Romance Novels WITHOUT cliffhangers!
Mythologies and Retellings of Fairy Tales & Classics
Beauty and the Beast
"I've Loved You for Years."
Becky - I need someone to help me put a challenge spreadsheet together - there would need to be rows with the listopia names/links and then columns where people can input the books read - but needs to have auto calcuations - so when they say book a - hit 5 listopaias) and mark those boxes, it auto adds and then subtracts from the shelves remaining (does that make sense?)
Dee...I think so.. The calculation aspect would be pretty basic, but I'm not sure I understand the subtraction part. Are you thinking each applicable shelf gets 1 point for the book and all other shelves would remain blank, being "0"? If you want to track specific shelves through a challenge to see which one is most popular, I can set that up. Piece of cake. I can always set up a spreadsheet and change it to suit our needs as we play with it.My new miniMac was delivered last night so I can run Google docs easy now. *Smiles* It's all sunshine and rainbows in my technological world today! LOL! Just let me know what you need.
i'll pm you tonight - i'll sit down and try to make it so it makes sense (since it does it my head, but not always in typing)

i want to see if I maybe have a sample from a similar challenge - that may help
Perfect! We'll figure it out. No worries!
