It's Sept. 1, time to read! If you didn't sign up, you still can, you just won't be eligible for the prize.
I have prizes! That's right, not one but TWO! The prizes are:
A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
The Notebook has some water damage to the cover and first few pages but is completely readable.
Remember to be eligible for the prize, you have to have signed up BEFORE Sept 1, have read and reviewed at least ONE book and have posted a wrap-up post. When the time comes, I'll draw a name and contact the winner. They can then tell me if they are interested in the prize. If not, I will draw another name etc....
If you want to sign up for the challenge or just read more about it, go here.
When you finish a book, write up a review and come post a link to it here in the comments section. I will be adding all reviews to this post as I see them. Most of all, have fun!

Hi - I finished my third book, About a Boy. I guess that means I've officially completed the challenge. I don't want to write a wrap-up post yet, though, because maybe I'll have the chance to add some extras.
Whoops, forgot one...

Hi! I finished another selection for this challenge - Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Here is my review. Hope you had a great weekend!
I did this in my own way. I didn't want to give the story away, and thought there were plenty of reviews out there that did that already. Anyway, here is mine for The Da Vinci Code. http://terrasears.wordpress.com/2007/09/19/the-da-vinci-code/
Here is the link instead (since it cut off some of the http).
Hey-my first review is up; I read Mariette in Ecstasy and loved it.
I just posted a review of my 2nd challenge book, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. You can find it here:

I've posted my challenge wrap-up. Thanks for hosting. Here's the link./span>
Just posted the third (and last) review in the challenge. Here are the links:
The challenge links: http://lazyhabits.wordpress.com/challenges/#bktomov
1. The Relic - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child 2. Dune - Frank Herbert
3. The Mirror Crack'd - Agatha Christie
Once again, thanks for hosting the challenge.
i've neglected to complete this challenge by the deadline, but i love the premise and i'm going to persevere. maybe i can get partial credit for turning in a late assignment? :)
anyway, thanks for the great challenge idea! it was a lot of fun making my picks and reading everyone else's reviews, even if i only got one of my mine finished by the deadline. (by the way, the link to my review of Freedom Writers doesn't work, if you'd kindly edit it.)
don't think I'll complete either!but why my review is not up yet?:( it'd be nice to be part of it even if only with one book review!thanks:)
