Clean Sweep ARC Challenge May 2013


The challenge dates: May 1 to 31st. 
Yes! Another Reading Challenge to help me clean up my bookshelf.  So what is this new challenge all about?   
The goal: to read and review as many ARC's as we can. We will have fun challenges each Saturday hosted by some wonderful bloggers and a prize for two luck participants at the end of the challenge. So gather your ARCs and your brooms and lets have some fun! -From Kimba

I honestly thought I had 5 to 8 ARC sitting on my over crowded bookshelf ...until today.  I just went book by book and low and behold I have 18 ARC on my shelf.  What the ??  When did these get here!?
And check this out!  Some of them are out and have been for a year now.  LOL!  One of them has been made into a movie and is out on DVD already!  I hope that one still counts.
So don't laugh but here is my list of ARC's in no particular order.

That's A Wrap!

So here is my wrap up:

Winners: 15th Hour Challenge

The Casting Couch 15th Hour Mini-Challenge is over and I have picked two winners via Random.org  
It is passed my bedtime and I am going to try my best to make sense here.  The first comment was assigned number one and every post after that was numbered in order.  There were 16 total entries.  
The results are *drumroll*

Dewey's Read-A-Thon 2013: Hour 17 - 20

 Whew! I think I can!  I think I can.

The 15th Hour Challenge

 
Welcome to My Little Pocketbooks 
15th Hour Challenge!

This awesome read-a-thon is hosted by DEWEY'S 24 HOUR READ-A-THON

Right now it's 9:00 pm Central Time and 7:00pm here is Los Angeles, California.
How are you feeling?  Feeling a little sleepy.
 
 Well...You have been reading for 15-ish hours now.  And more than half of your food reserve is gone.  So the 9 hour stretch would look a little bit long.  But think of this...you passed the half way mark and you are almost there. 
Would a Challenge get your blood flowing again?  Get you motivated?  
What about an easy challenge with a BIG return?  
That's what I thought!
