Just a reminder

Because there are so many participants and 50+ books each, we won't be posting reviews here. However, you should be providing links to your reviews (if you have a blog), and bringing your original post with your book selections up to the top by updating the date. You do this by going to 'post options' in the lower left corner of the post box, and then the date will be in the lower right hand corner where you will be able to change it.

We already have some fascinating categories for this challenge, and I'm looking forward to reading your book reviews!
