Congratulations go to Caitlin at Chaotic Compendiums for finishing the
Sunshine Smackdown: Battle of the Prizes.
Caitlin's three challenge books, with links to her reviews, were:
Sophie's Choice (National winner)
Empire Falls (Pulitzer winner)
The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter (double-dipper)
Thanks, Caitlin! Also, if you do a wrap-up post, please let us know and I will add the link.
Book Psmith has also finished her National Book Award winner, The Magic Barrel by Bernard Malamud. Psmith's review is
here.
Challenge details and links to all the reviews submitted so far are on
the main challenge page. There are still a few weeks to go before the challenge ends on Labor Day. And Labor Day is only the deadline for reading books -- reviews are welcome after that date. Please leave links to reviews on this post or the main challenge post.
Thanks, again, to everyone who is participating!

This week''s Booking Through Thursday question asks what "fluffy" books we have read recently. Looking at my list of books over on the right column, I see a lot of serious books, and not many books I would characterize as fluffy.
Doctor Sally by P.G. Wodehouse probably counts. It is shorter than other Wodehouse novels I have read. It is funny and clever, but there are far fewer characters than most of them and the plot is pretty linear and simple.
But still a lot of fun to read!
PS: Thanks to J.G. at Hotch Pot Cafe for reminding me that this post is a definite KITTEN opportunity!
