10 months. 10 award winners.
The challenge for Book Awards II will be slightly different. First of all, it will last for 10 months instead of 12. Since we had over 100 participants last time, there wasn’t room for everyone on the blog site due to blogger’s limitation of only 100 contributors. Taking off those two months will allow me to clean up the site and set up the next challenge. On July 15th, I’ll be deleting the participants from the first challenge UNLESS you’ve signed up for the new challenge. Your reviews won’t be deleted, you just won’t be able to post at the blog site anymore. For the other differences, I’ve listed the rules below.
Rules:
- Read 10 award winners from August 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009.
- You must have at least FIVE different awards in your ten titles.
- Overlaps with other challenges are permitted.
- You don’t have to post your choices right away, and your list can change at any time.
- ‘Award winners’ is loosely defined; make the challenge fit your needs, keeping in mind Rule #2.
- SIGN UP at the blog post HERE.
- Have fun reading!
I’ll choose 10 from the following:
- American Pastoral by Philip Roth (Pulitzer)
- Hotel du Lac by Brookner (Booker)
- The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon (Nebula)
- Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card (Hugo)
- The God of Animals by Aryn Kyle (Spur)
- Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson (IMPAC Dublin)
- Mr. Pip by Lloyd Jones (Commonwealth Writers’)
- The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney (Costa/Whitbread)
- Runaway by Alice Munro (Giller)
- The Love of a Good Woman by Alice Munro (Giller)
- Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood (Giller)
- Larry’s Party by Shields (Orange)
- Small Island by Levy (Orange)
- Bel Canto by Patchett (Orange)

I signed up again, because I’m assuming it’s okay to keep working on some of the ones I didn’t get to LAST time!
