Sunday Salon 03.30.08

sundaysalon2.pngI really can’t believe the first quarter of 2008 is over. It doesn’t seem possible. I updated my challenge log to take stock of how I’m doing, and I know I won’t finish some challenges that I wanted to participate in, but of course I’ll keep plugging along. I finished a big one, The Book Awards Challenge, with 24 books completed. See my wrap-up post below.

How do book awards and prizes affect your reading? Do you make a conscious effort to read from certain lists? Do you have a certain prize that you enjoy reading from more than others? So far I would have to say that I have enjoyed the Pulitzer winners the most so far, and I’ve probably had the least luck with the Booker Prize list. I also really enjoy reading the Newbery winners. Although those are children’s books, they help ‘lighten me up’ after reading heavier subject matter in adult books.

Enjoy your day, everyone!
