Book Lenses for December 2009 Giant Challenge

Ranked #5,005 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #178,765 overall | Donates to ONE Spirit

Are you a bookworm in the Giant Squid Challenge for December 2009?

Calling all bookworms that are participating in the Giant Squid Challenge for December 2009. I would like to introduce you to this plexo lens. It is where you will add your lenses about books that you want to count towards becoming a Giant Squid or a Giant 100 Club member in the final quarter Challenge of 2009.

Follow me now as we inch our way towards your goal...

The challenge has long passed but the lenses live on and worth visiting.

Giant Squid Table of Contents

This lens will act as a virtual table of contents showing the book lenses that are being created during the Giant Squid and Giant 100 Club Challenge for the last quarter of 2009. The challenge begins on October 1st, 2009 and the plexos will open for lenses created on or after October 1st.

Add your lenses about books to the plexo, if you are in the challenge. Your lens can be about a specific book, a book review, about an author, a series of books, collecting books, or selling books. How about a lens about fiction vs non-fiction? Another topic to consider would be a specific genre of literature that you love to read. Don't forget about Comic Books and Graphic novels as a possible topic. You can write one lens or you can write several lenses, it is up to you. Just have fun with it!

This challenge is going to be a lot of fun and the Giant Organizers and Greeters all wish you the best of luck on your journey.

SquidLit Is A Great Template For Book Reviews:

Want to do a book review? Might we suggest that you try SquidLit to build that lens?
