10 awards. 10 months. January 1 - November 1, 2010
Well, sadly the challenge page doesn't seem to have been maintained, so I'm not sure if it matters that I finished, but I did! And it matters to me, I guess that's what counts. Once again I was pleased that it encouraged me to read some "better" books. And here they are:
1. Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout - 2009 Pulitzer Prize
2. Still Life by Louise Penney - 2007 Anthony Award for Best First Novel
3. The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett - 2001 Carnegie Medal
4. Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen - 2007 Agatha Award nominee
5. The Outcast by Sadie Jones - 2008 Costa First Novel Award
6. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley - 2007 Debut (Gold) Dagger
7. Airborn by Kenneth Oppel - 2004 Governor General's Award for Children's Literature
8. What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell - 2008 National Book Award for Young Readers
9. Three Girls and their Brother by Theresa Rebeck - 2009 Alex Award

Well done! Sadly I did not finish this challenge this year although I have finished in previous years. I am thinking of keeping it as one of my challenges for next year as there are books on my list that I truly do want to read.
I wonder what happened to the host of this challenge? It seems she just kind of disappeared.
Anyway--I agree with you....it DOES matter that you completed this one and I am actually going to read about some of your book choices on Amazon's site!
