Congrats to the nine participants who read 76 books during the 2010 Summer Reading Program! I hope you all enjoyed your reading this year.
 

I had fun with the challenge, even if I came up a bit short of my goal. Sixteen books is a respectable total, and as promised, I have made a donation of $80 to the Children's Literacy Foundation. If you have the means and inclination, please consider making a donation as well. You can click here to get to the CLiF support page.
 

Many thanks to those who suggested books: Camille, Carol, Christine, Michelle, Nathan, Rick, Sharon, and Sonya. I appreciate the recommendations and have added an entry for each book into the drawing.
 

Which brings us to the grand prize. By random selection, the winner is ...

Congratulations Matt! Look for the $25 Amazon gift card in your e-mail box.
 

Thanks again, everyone!
 

The Politician by Andrew Young

A political aide, seeking to maintain his power, wealth, and position, helps John Edwards cover up his affair in an effort to maintain his power, wealth, and position. No sympathetic characters here.
 

Don't Look Down by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

Action-adventure-comedy-romance. If only they added aliens or unicorns, they'd have achieved a quincunx of genre.
 

The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer

Wonderful fantasy based on Norse history and mythology. I suppose this is technically a mid-grade book, but great fun for grown-ups as well. Highly recommended.
 

My total stands at 16 books. I doubt I'll get much farther by tomorrow night. You all have until Midnight tomorrow to submit your entries!
