I found a few years ago when I used to do the challenges on the eHarlequin community boards that using the Author Name Challenge could make you read people you may not have discovered before.
It really wasn't the case this time around. I found the letters to go with authors I happen to read, the exception being finally getting around to read a Julia Quinn (for U) and Amanda Quick (for Q) books.
I did manage to complete the A-Z for both male and female authors, and even managed to get the A-Z only for female authors, but alas not for male authors.
