Despite the impending holidays and the recent string of coups at the Mattress Police, the Lamest Contest Ever soldiers on. I have just ticked off two more books on my list, simply by reading them. You wouldn't think it would be so easy to anger books, but they are a surprisingly temperamental lot. Check out my reading log to review my thoughts on Nessa's Happenstance and Mark Teague's Letters from Obedience School. I'm expecting a shipment of new reading material from Santazon tonight.
In case you don't know, the Lamest Contest Ever works like this:
You post an entry on your blog recommending a book for me to read. You link to my site in your post. You post a comment here letting me know about your post. I add your book to my reading list, with a link back to your blog. I read the book and post my thoughts about it on my reading log. That's it? You say. That's it, I say. That's lame, you say. That's why it's called the lamest contest ever, I say. I then add, Try to keep up.
The latest entrants are:
