Location: Richmond, California | Can you add Kaitlin Kiernan's The Drowned Girl? I had to read it for a book club and, although I detested it, it's a fantasy book by a woman author I hadn't read so I'd like to at least get credit for it here.  |

Location: SC, USA | Hey Carla, It is The Drowning Girl, not Drowned, which is probably why you could not find it. Here's the link https://www.worldswithoutend.com/novel.asp?id=5079
Sorry, I can never make my links real links.

Location: Dallas, Texas | Hello everyone. You may haqve noticed a drop off in new books being added to the site for the challenge. Part of that was my vacation (I was gone for over a week and came back exhausted.) and part is that my home computer has gone to drek. I'm trying to get that worked out now and should either be fixed or replaced by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck. Thanks for your patience. I haven't given up and I haven't forgotten about you. |

Location: Austria | I noticed you have Frances Hardinge's book Fly Trap in the database, part two of a series, but part one - Fly by Night- is missing. I just read it and will put up a WoGF review whenever the book is added.
P.S.: No stress about adding the book, I've got more than enough other women writers lined up for May. |

When I added her book Feed to my shelf as read, it gave me the option of counting it towards my WofGF page so I checked that option but there is no change on my WofGF page. Suggestions? |

Location: Richmond, California | I knew I'd get that name wrong (didn't have it in front of me) but, as I said, I found her and chose the books I'd read of hers and so on - I did it through random generation also. They're on my bookshelf but won't show up for WoGF. When I check that box, it just reverts to unchecked every time I save it. I'll just keep trying, assuming it's some kind of temporary glitch. |

Which is fine. I still want to do Stiefvater's Scorpio Races but I haven't been able to find it here. I'm not sure what happened overnight that it works now but I'll take that as a win. Your don't have to write any reviews to get your books to show up on your list. All you have to do is tag that author for your challenge from the All Women Authors page, which you have to do first, then tag one of her books as read AND check the box that says "Apply to my WoGF". I've been testing the system and it's working as it should for me on all my browsers. If you are still having problems I'll need to get some details about your set up so I can try and replicate the issue. I've got Maggie Stiefvater on my list of updates. |

Location: Richmond, California | Danke! I am on a Mac using Lion (OS X Lion 7.5) and I've been using Safari as my browser. I may try to switch over to Firefox and see if that helps at all. I only thought I had to write the review for it to show up because that's the only thing I did differently before a certain one showed up. I'm thinking that it's just something I shouldn't worry about and just let the books show up when they show up. No need to look into it any further - I should have a better experience with a different browser. I also have a PC so I could check what happens if I come in using Windows instead of Mac OS.
Thanks for letting me know you've got Stiefvater on your list. I won't worry about that either. Sometimes I get a little obsessed with getting my ducks all in a row. |

Location: Rockford, IL | I seem to remember you like series, so why isn't Michelle Sagara/Michelle West in the database yet? I know at least two other people asked for her.
She has several series out - Under Michelle Sagara are the Cast booksand a new series that begins with Silence. Under Michelle West are the Sun Sword, Hunt Brothers, and House War books.
Another missing is Rachel Caine - she has several series out as well - Weather Wardens, Morganville Vampires, and the newest, Revivalist. |

(We say "Dub-Dub End" That will get you around the wrestling Sending requests via email is fine but it's probably better to post your requests here so I don't miss them in the flood of emails I get everyday. I've got your books on the list. I'm glad you're joining in the challenge late as it is. We made it 12 books so it would be relatively easy to catch up for late starters. And, before I forget my manners, welcome to Worlds Without End! I hope you enjoy the site and the community. If you have any questions please ask. If I don't answer right away somebody around here will jump in!

I do like series, to read and to input, as they're easier to look up the info all at once. But my liking has nothing to do with the fact that we're missing lots of series on the site. It's all a matter of time as I've stated before. They're on the list but the list is huge and there are many things on the site that vie for my attention and increasingly limited time. We're doing the best we can so please be patient. On the upside, we've got a couple hundred books that should go in this week with many new authors included. These new books will flesh out quite a few incomplete series.

That is the primary basis for inclusion on the site. Just to be clear, with very few exceptions, we don't pick the books that go on the site. They come from fandom at large (awards and lists) and fandom right here (your requests).
And you are correct, controuble, they do not have to be nominated to be added for the WoGF. The headdesking has been minor except in our frustration over not being able to get these in faster

Location: New Hampshire | Hmmm ... if the WoGF reading challenge isn't award driven, then that's a horse of a different color! ~starts scribbling list based on teetering "to read" stacks~ I'll try not to get carried away lest I induce ... headdesking. ~attempts to mentally conjugate the verb "to headdesk"~
I have mixed feelings about series. If I get really caught up in one, then I read all of the books and have to wait for the next installment. In the meantime, I go read other things and by the time I come back to the series, there are usually several more books, and if the writer is truly prolific, I never get caught up. Now I am usually content to just read the first one or two because there is so much cool stuff out there to read that I don't want to spend too much time in one world and with one set of characters. I should go look for a series thread/forum and see what other people think. |

| I apologize if this might have already been addressed, but I was wondering if "The Replacement" by Brenna Yovanoff could be added? There is one book of hers already listed and I currently have it flagged as I'm curious in her as an author I picked randomly and never had heard of. The Replacement is available with my local library to be borrowed on the Kindle, whereas the other book is a bit less accessible. |

I believe the order is Naamah's Kiss, Naamah's Curse, and Naamah's Blessing. Thank you! Of course, I missed the bit in the challenge details that specifies we must choose authors we haven't read before. ::sheepish look:: I was choosing authors based on books that I own but haven't read yet. I happen to have the first two Naamah books sitting on my "to be read" shelf, but of course I've already read the first 6 books in the saga (because my head explodes if I read a series out of order). Off to start White Queen....

So many books and authors I haven't heard of, and several I have been meaning or wanting to read for ages. You are most welcome. Of course we're not going to make this any easier for you The problem with the list is that, even as long as it is, it does not cover a fraction of what/who we're missing. Case in point: Here are some new books we just added from 13 new women authors that are not even on that list. Orbit sent us their data so we're putting in all the books we didn't already have for them. How awesome is that? We have a bunch more to add tonight too. Happy reading! |

Hey, just wondering how you're going with adding things? I've finished The Black Swan, and am now just waiting to post my review on WWEnd Not trying to hassle you or anything, lol.
Also, a well known female author I've noticed that you're missing is Anne Bishop, of the Black Jewels universe (among others)! |

Location: New Hampshire | So I see. AND you post books which are so far only available from UK booksellers. ~taps foot in mock indignation~ Luckily the Book Depository ships such things around the world from Gloucester, UK, for free. (Well, the shipping is free. You still have to pay for the books.) |

Location: UK | Before the Fall, After the Fall, During the Fall - Nancy Kress
This is up for a novella Hugo, but calls itself a novel, and seems to be about 200 pages long. I think it belongs here. (And it'd be a nice extra WoGF freebie for me, since I just read it.) |

Location: UK | Wow Dave,have you given up sleeping altogether? So many additions.Well done.I will have to go through all my authors again,since many books have been added,gaps been filled.
Got to ask,did you expect such an overwhelming response to the WoGF? It is so obvious that the gals have massively changed the ratio of SF to Fantasy,especially Urban Fantasy. I have read hundreds of such books and never expected them to appear on this site,which was so science fiction orientated,yet now they are here in full force..
And WHAT are you going to do for a challenge next year?This is going to be so hard to top! |

And WHAT are you going to do for a challenge next year?This is going to be so hard to top! Hey dusty, I'm getting a bit of sleep here and there. The key is that when we get a big bunch of books added to the site I sleep better afterwards I NEVER expected the WoGF to take off like it has. We knew it was a going to be a good challenge and had high hopes of it passing up the Grand Master Challenge but you just never know about these things. Apparently we're scratching an itch for a lot of people with this one. And you're right about the kind of books getting added too. Lots of stuff that we hadn't seen before like the urban fantasy. That's just another way that the WoGF has benefited the site by broadening our offering and hopefully appealing to more folks. By the way, we've almost reached our 100 new women authors pledge already! Look for an announcement in the blog when we do. It will be a miracle to top this challenge but we have a plan that we think might just do it. More on that later. Now, how about some more books? These are mostly the last of the books by women authors that we needed for the Mythopoeic Award that we just added but they cover some of the WoGF requests as well. Enjoy!

Location: Dallas, Texas | Hey, look! More books.                           It's been awhile since we got a batch added. With WorldCon just around the corner it may be a little while before the next bunch. There is much for us to do to get ready. Speaking of WorldCon, if you're going to the convention come look us up in the fan table area. We'll be showing off the site and giving out some 2013 Hugo bookmarks. And we'll have candy. How can you miss that? We'd like nothing more than to meet some WWEnders in person! Here are the new bookmarks. What'cha think?

| Hallo-
I have tried to scroll thru to ensure this isn't a repeat request,
but I would like to have Amy Kathleen Ryan added as I read the first two in her teen Sky Chasers series. First book titled "Glow" & the second ="Spark".
Thank you for all you do!

| Hi,
I've just started reading Alaya Dawn Johnson's novel "Moonshine"; I'd love to be able to count it towards my WoGF challenge as I am planning on writing a review for it anyway for my own blog. Johnson does not seem to be on the Women Authors page and searching for the book yields up a book with the same title but by a different author.
Thanks so much.

Location: UK | In addition to the Nancy Kress I mentioned above (After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall), I'd also like to request Aliette de Bodard's Obsidian and Blood trilogy:
Servant of the Underworld
Harbinger of the Storm
Master of the House of Darts
I can make it without either of those, so I guess they can be low priority. In fact I'm about two thirds of the way to being able to repeat this challenge next year. |

Location: Dallas, Texas | As a note to all here, my home computer gave up the ghost a couple weeks ago (motherboard fried) so I'm without a machine to do updates on except for my work PC which I can only use at lunch and after hours. The after hours part is what stinks. Half the time when I stay late to try and catch up on WWEnd stuff I get rooked into doing more client work. You can imagine how thrilled I am with that scenario. I'm looking into finding a temp machine to get me by for a few months whilst I await the coming of the new MacPro sometime in December. I decided (and my wife allowed me to treat myself to the latest and greatest machine some months back and my PC crapped out at a most inopportune time. Damn you, Murphy! Anyway, that's why the updates have been so sparse across the whole site and the blog. One day I'll get back on track but until then thanks for your patience.

| Would you please add Kristal Stittle's Survival Instinct? It is her first published zombie book and is getting great reviews on amazon.com. There is a sequel coming out later this year. Thank you! p.s. this would be a great addition toward anyone's WOGF. |

The Oathbound - Mercedes Lackey
Delirium - Lauren Oliver
The Ghost Bride - Yangsze Choo
And IF this counts as science fiction, could you please add:
Goodbye for Now - Laurie Frankel
(It could go either way.) |

A little too late for the challenge I suppose but we don't intend to stop adding new women just because the WoGF is winding down. Happy reading!
See some other new stuff in the general request thread too.                                         |

I tell ya, I'm feeling the itch to add a new award and the Aurealis has been on my mind for a long time. Not sure that will be the next but it's in the running for sure. We tend to look for the low hanging fruit first, which this really isn't, but it would add a bunch of new authors to the site which I really like. I'll look at our list again and see what looks good. It won't be until after the new year though since we're planning the 2014 challenge still.

Those of us in the cold, dark north need hope for light and stories on this Solstice day. I wish I could but we're just not ready to reveal it. We met last night and finalized the plan but we have some adjustments to the tracking code to make before we can kick it off. We may be a few days late launching so look for it after New Year's. We think it's going to be really good. It's not one that has been done before as far as we can tell. We're predicting it will be bigger than the WoGF but we've got our fingers crossed just the same.

I read Captain Marvel vol. 1: In Pursuit of Flight by Kelly Sue DeConnick this past year and would love to count it towards this challenge, but I can understand why adding multi-volume, ongoing comic book series might be a can of worms this site doesn't want to open right now (or perhaps ever). |

Location: Dallas, Texas | Well, the WoGF is over now except for the December review poll. Go vote if you have not already done so. It's time to close off this thread. Our apologies if we did not get to your book or author requests this year. It was a flood of requests at times and we did our best but we know we didn't get 'em all. We added 127 new women authors to the DB this year which is pretty good all things considered. I'll have to get Chris to tell me how many books we got but it must have been hundreds with all those series. It certainly felt that way! We're working on a book request form for this year that will streamline the process for the 2014 challenge which will likely end up producing a lot more book requests than even the WoGF did. The challenge will be announced Tuesday if all goes according to plan. Wish us luck and keep an eye on the blog for further announcements. I'll leave this thread open for some last comments then close it tomorrow night.

Laini Taylor - Days of Blood and Starlight
Gail Carson Levine
