The first post to the Notable Books Challenge blog was in August of 2007. Since that time, hundreds of reviews have
been published here by many bloggers enthusiastic about the Notable Books lists, including The New York Times Most Notable.
But, 6.5 years is a long time and there have been a lot of changes and
challenges in my life - especially over the last year or so. My energy
for blogging has dipped - I no longer have the drive to administer
multiple blogs and I no longer want the pressure to maintain this blog or the challenge.
Because I get the stats, I know there are readers still coming here and
reading the reviews. It is a nice resource to readers to have this
site...and so, the site will stay open (at least for awhile) and the
reviews already posted will remain.
The site will be closed for new posts beginning January 1, 2014. What
does that mean? Well, I will be removing all the authors from this site
(except myself) beginning December 31st.
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has contributed to The Notable Books Challenge blog - your insights, reviews, and participation have
helped it become a popular blog amongst literary readers. I hope you
will choose to keep your reviews posted here, but if you choose to
delete any reviews, that needs to happen before December 31st.
Thank you all!

I'm sorry this is happening but I understand. I have enjoyed posting here because it represents a challenge and the books tend to be "better" than the general run.
