@TriSARAHtops

I used this to find a name with a double M.

CTRL+F -> Author and found what I needed. It doesn't cover all initials though :/

Or you could try these?

@TriSARAHtops and anyone else who needs it: For the initials one, I just went to my local library and started pulling books off the shelf in the right section. I ended up finding a couple that way. Now I've just got to read one of them.

You could also try browsing on goodreads, I think there's a way to browse by author.
We're all stories in the end.

I have twenty so far! Nearly halfway! Some of them are easy - I've got Noggin (which I'm reading now) for book at the bottom of your to-read pile, 'a trilogy' seems like the perfect invitation to reread the Leviathan trilogy again, Harry Potter'll cover 'book published the year you were born', My mum loves the Belgariad books, and it's been years since I first read them, so that's another one ticked off, The Fire Within and Icefire will cover 'book from your childhood' and 'book with antonyms in the title' respectively and I was thinking of picking Blue Lily, Lily Blue for the colour one, obvs meaning that a reread of The Raven Cycle is in order. Either that or I'll read A Corner of White, and call white a colour.

Lots of rereading waits for me, it looks like. Last few books I've read haven't really fitted in anywhere (aside from categories I've already filled, XD),and there's still a couple I'm going to actively hunt down. But going pretty neatly so far!

I've been reading lots of books... but not being able to fit them anywhere xD

After the summer though, I will read just to finish off this challenge! I know what books will fit where, and should have enough to cover all themes now. But for a book with your first and last name as initials, I am so doing my first and middle-ish-not-really name. (It's part of my first name initials because I have a double barrell one.)

What kind of book scares you? I'm yet to fit for that.

Books about the end of the world scare me. Basically because the idea of 'the end' in itself is scary. @manisha Not like dystopian though, but more like the Left Behind series. I am gonna read the first book of those for that.

Where exactly is this said bottom? I'm having trouble placing this topic, and I often end up reading a book that doesn't fit the list, at the least. D:

I think the best thing about making it into the quote generator is when nobody tells you, so one day you're just scrolling and voila, some phenomenally inane thing that crawled out of your dying synapses and immediately regretted being born the second it made contact with the air has been archived for all time. Or worse, a remark of only average inanity. Never tell me when you've put me in the generator. Pride-tinged regret just doesn't taste the same without the spice of surprise.
