I decided to do something, erm, a little nuts, maybe.

Since reading 12 female spec fic authors a year is something I already do, not reading dude authors very frequently, I decided to apply the women authors' challenge to several of the other challenges. This began with PoC authors to become a WoC challenge, and then I did the Mythopoeic Awards, then the Award Winners, then the Second Best... and if I can figure out how to set it up, I'm going to make an LGBT authors challenge as well (and fill my list with ladies).

(I'm also endeavoring to not do any repeats, though a couple have accidentally popped up so far. So ideally, by the time I'm done, there will be 60 books by 60 different women authors, which I probably cannot hope to complete but I can't resist the obsessive-compulsive pollution. Oy.)

Just figured I'd put it out there in case there are other folks who appreciate the idea of a women author challenge, but for whom it isn't super-challenging.
