NYRB Reading Week (update)

Here's a short update for those of you participating in the NYRB Reading Week from November 7 to 13. We've received word from our main sponsor, Fully Booked, that Random House Inc.. is also supporting us in our plans and they've donated more books for us to include as prizes! This is excellent news as we now have five books to give away. Thanks so much to Fully Booked for making this happen.

My co-host Honey (Coffeespoons) and I have decided to choose a favourite review each and to raffle the remaining three books among all those who'll be participating in NYRB week. It's not too late for you to join in because this will be an informal and relaxed reading challenge. There are no rules. Simply read one or more NYRB books during that week and blog about it. If you don't have a blog, then just leave us a link to your review.  

During the week, Honey and I will collate your posts and blog about them. As soon as you've posted one of your reviews, please leave a link in our comments section. Everyone who participates will get a chance to win the prizes.

Thanks to everyone who dropped by and commented and who have plans to participate. I'm excited to read all your reviews. Thanks for spreading the word. See you all next week!
