See if you can guess the titles of the books from the pictures. Here’s a link to the one I did last year as an example. 9 points for the correct answer and 1 point if you know the author too. A Hint- these are all 2010 New York Times Bestsellers. You have until Friday noon to submit your answers as a comment. I hide your answers until then.
A few rules…No cheating. No googling or looking at other commenter answers. Yes, we’re going by the honor system…Your first answers will be the only ones accepted…Have fun!
This round for every participant I have (currently at $26) I will put in a $ for a B&N gift card or a Babies R Us gift card for the winner. Even if you play only once you are eligible to win the second prize (something special I pick out) and you will be adding money to the kitty for the winner.

I have not read any of these – and am guessing at most of them. Please don’t laugh!
1 = Noah’s Compass
2 = The Red Queen
3 = Cross Fire – Patterson
4 = House Law
5 = Storm Prey (sounds more likely to be a book title that Lightening Kill)

7 = Towers of Midnight
8 = Fall of Giants
9 = Spider Bones
10 = Star Island (ah – this photo makes me miss LOST…)
82 points! You got them all right without knowing any of them. Very impressive 🙂 I have the same problem as Andy, do it all the time.
