MJ Overflow Challenge

I'm aiming at 10 categories of 10 books each, and expect that there will be plenty left over from the others for this overflow challenge.

General statistics are at http://www.librarything.com/topic/141224

Statistics here are only for books that don't fit the other challenges. Even books that end up here will be listed in those statistics if possible.

Statistics:
New books 6
Library books
Second hand books 2
Rereads

!Survival

BTW this is a set of books I entered recently. Most of them are long term 'survival' (i.e. homesteading skills) others immediate 'survival'. I decided to reread them, partly for enjoyment; partly to decide which need to be thrown out as outdated. I will probably try to fill the category with more recent works as a comparison.

1 The Forgotten Arts - Book 3
2 The Forgotten Arts - Book 4
3 The forgotten arts Book 1
4 The forgotten arts Book 2
5 The art of survival
6 The forgotten art of building a stone wall
7 Producing your own power
8 Survival with style
9 How to avoid being killed in a war zone
10 Medizin-Survival : überleben ohne Arzt

As all three basic challenges are done, but only being adjusted a bit, I am also marking categories here closed. So far there are three:

!Valdemar (2)
!Heyer (2)
!Survival

My current expectation is that once the German and Nonfiction challenges are solid, and extra books moved here, this should be very nearly full.

Christmas books

1 Igor : eine Weihnachtsgeschichte

5 "Sag zum Abfall leise Servus" (Humour?)

I finished and closed the German today and moved things here that I didn't need there. The result is that I am now finished here. (Things aren't very tidy, but hey, These are the leftovers.)

Question: Can I raise the number of categories in Fiction to 13, and still finish this? Candidates for moving back at present are Other Fantasy and Other Science Fiction.

Those are moved back although the lists are here.

I can create a category 'other' and move international fiction back.
OR
I can finish narrowboat fiction, and combine narrowboat nonfiction with travel.

The first is doable now. The second is tidier.

At the moment I have fiction filled at 13 categories of 10.

This is filled at 10 x 10, and with a week to go in the year the following categories are nearly full:
1 Narrowboat fiction
Biblical (1)
3History and travel
2 People and society
Cooking and Crafts (1)

When I get three finished I will start 2014.

Well, I haven't finished the desired books, but I have moved a few extras from Austria.

Works for me.
