For the next three hours (that is, until 6 pm CST), you can submit the correct book titles I've given in other words. I will select one winner from those who guess them all correctly. The winner will receive the book of their choice, up to $15 USD in value, from The Book Depository. I'll reveal the answers once this challenge is complete and open the comments for all to express their joy or angst over which ones they guessed right or wrong respectively. Enjoy!

Hmm...9 outta 10 ain't bad. Now that I see the answer, I swear I'm conking myself on the head. I blame it on my brain being mush. :D

This was an awesome challenge and like Vasilly said, I hope you host a similar one next time.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad it was fun. It was challenging for me coming up with the "other" words. I'll definitely do it next readathon. :)
