Question about this challenge but I don't know where it goes:
If when reading an M/M book, can you use both male characters on the list for the same book?

It sounds like a lame question, but I was curious and didn't know where else to ask.
Thanks!

No, you can't Kimberly. You can use a book only once within a challenge.
