That's funny, Jane - next year I"m trying NOT to have too many options for each category! I think it just makes me more confused!By the by, have you realised that for both 46 and 49 you only have one option - and it's the same option for each?!!

Thanks Kathryn- I actually have lots of double ups - just trying to keep my options open. Now that the Aussie Authors Annual Challenges are out I'm trying to tie-in to them as well. Thank goodness for spreadsheets!
Jane wrote: "Thank goodness for spreadsheets!..."Indeed! Now I just need a program where I plug in all the books I want to read for the various categories for a challenge (or better yet - several challenges!), and it tells me how I can slot them in to read them all!
Exactly - and how 1 book can fill prompts for 5 different annual challenges, so you read 1 book not 5!
