Another Challenge! Read Your Name Challenge
This is being hosted here by Victoria of Phantom Inkheart.
The rules are pretty simple and I can certainly manage this one. Of course one of these days I need to get posts set up for each of the challenges I am doing this year....yes in my spare (choke) time!
Using your first name, or blogger name, or your pets name, or even your favorite literary character's name; whichever you like, choose books with first title letters that spell out your name. (Audio books and eBooks are also okay.) Such as my name: Martha. the first book's title would start with the letter M, then the next book title begins with A, etc. For fun I will use MarthaE.
Easy Peasy!
Since I am currently reading/listening to and enjoying Marriage and Other Acts of Charity I wonder if that can count as M or if I should start with a new book that starts with M. What do you think?

Martha's Bookshelf *** Friday Pick Giveaway March 19, 2010
This post now repeasts except for the change in number of books and deletion of picked books. :o)
PLEASE NOTE UPDATED RULES IN RED BELOW!
I am going to continue to include the full list updated with chosen books crossed off. You can still go to the Friday Pick list link to see each post and the book pictures if you want! I am happy to say that so far about 44 books have found new homes! YAY. When I get down near 100 I will post some new books! :)
If you saw the pictures posted of my bookshelves and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by the Friday Pick Giveaways.
I have posted ten Friday Pick posts with 16 books each. I will strike out the books as they are chosen. Some of the books may be chosen by winners in the SaSR weekly drawings. So it will be first pick to the one who claims it. SaSR winners are announced Friday mornings (or afternoon if I get busy!) and it usually takes that person a bit of time to get back to me. That means the Friday Pick winner who is drawn Thursday night will usually get the choice named in their comment as I will have time to remove it from the file list before announcing the winner at SaSR.
Because postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00 book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze, etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or note your choice of gift card.
Leave a comment and tell me WHICH BOOK you would like to get from the Friday Pick lists (less whichever books might be picked by the comment or SaSR winners each week). PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM SETTING A NEW CUT OFF TIME AS THURSDAY NIGHTS AT 10:00 PM CENTRAL so I do not have to stay up past midnight to do the winner post!
I will randomly pick two winners to announce the next Friday.
ALSO, TO SAVE ME EXTRA WORK, I WILL ASK THE WINNERS TO CHECK THE WIN POST ON FRIDAYS AND E-MAIL ME THEIR ADDRESSES at mesreads@gmail.com. I will confirm receipt of the addresses. If I have the winners e-mail I will send a reminder over the weekend but I won't be so rushed on Fridays! So I still recommend that you leave your e-mail especially if you are new and I don't have a way to find it!
Thanks for helping these books find a new home!!
Repeating this helpful blog tip: You can right click on a link and you will be given the choice to open the link in a new window or tab so you do not navigate away from the screen you are on!! I use this all the time!
