Everyone who participates in and completes at least 10 books for this challenge will get their name entered in the drawing for a $15 Amazon or B&N gift certificate (winner's choice). Drawing will be December 29 using random.org

To be entered into the drawing, you must let me know when you complete the challenge. There will be too many posts for me to go through them all looking for finished ones. Simply copy and paste your entire post into a new post at the end – or post a new message saying "I finished in thread #??."
