Book Awards II: Another challenge!
Posted by: Lizzie
I decided to sign up for the Book Awards Reading Challenge. The goal is to read 10 award-winning books in 10 months, starting August 1. I think it’s manageable. It’s good to have a goal!
Here are some books I’ve been meaning to read that qualify:
- The Life of Pi
- The Road
- Schindler’s List
Wow. That list is shorter than I thought. I’ll have to seriously peruse the lists. I spent a little time scanning them for titles I’d heard of but not yet read. There were several that I had read and don’t feel like rereading. So…I’ve got a little work ahead of me!
I’m still waiting on some books to arrive via bookmooch for the What an Animal! Challenge. Also, I got my giant box o’ books today!! I’m sooo excited.
Any other good challenges out there that I should sign up for? Let me know!

congrats on winning! Wow, that’s a lot o books! I have one I’m working on, and I can’t read 5 pages. It’s terrible. Not the season of life for reading, I suppose. It’s been fun reading your enthusiasm, and it has to rub off on your kids. I think I’ll make this week tv-free and have to read with them more. maybe. well, maybe this week isn’t the best, but I will soon! maybe a day… lol I’m pathetic!
