Competition Time!

On Friday August 31st, we'll be announcing the 18 titles that have made the cut out of the 471 that we received back in the spring.

To win an entire set of the series (all 86 volumes published so far), we have a simple task for you. Look at the shortlist of 94 possible titles below, and pick out the 18 that you think we'll end up selecting. The person who gets the closest to getting all 18 right will win the contest. (And in the event of a tie, we'll figure something out...)

Send your entry (one per person only) to:

thefinaleighteen at gmail dot com

before the end of Thursday August 30th.

Your email *must* have the subject line "My List of 18" - anything without that will not be accepted.

Good luck!
