Date: 2006-04-10 01:35 pm (UTC)I'd seen it in a couple places on my Flist.
Who decided to list book 19 of a series?
Well, that's the interesting part. It's a Dumb List; smacks of someone typing a buncha women authors and titles off the top of their head and throwing it out there to see who'll bite. As you'll note, I added names to my version. Other people are apparently loath to do this, because they don't understand the protocols which went into making the list in the first place, and don't want to mess it up. *shrug* I mean, really, it's a meme; it was sufficiently interesting and I needed a displacement activity. No deep meanings, here...
