Saturday Spotlight: DeRaps Reads

Woot! I finally am over 200 books read! 204 to be exact. See the full list here.

Alright, I figure it's time for incentive... comments are low and I know just the thing to motivate you guys to comment more! I'm going to do a monthly Top 5 drawing. Look at the sidebar, find the Top 5 Commentators. If your name is on that list at the end of the month, I will be drawing a book of choice from The Book Depository up to a $15 value for whichever of the 5 names I pick. If The Book Depository does not ship to your country, I will let you choose a book of choice under $10 that I can pick up locally and ship to you. What do you guys think?
