There has been quite a few bloggers signing up for the SMOOTH CRIMINALS reading challenge since I launched it exactly a week ago. You can see the list here. Still, it's not even nearly enough. Come one guys, what are you scared of? It's eight books and eight reviews OVER A YEAR. Your reviews don't need to be as long as mine. Just tell me what you think worked and didn't worked with the books. Did I mention you can sign up for the challenge here? I have spent the last week carefully choosing my eight books, so I could help you shape your ideas about certain categories. Here they are.
