Wrap Up - Book Awards Reading Challenge

The Book Awards Reading Challenge is to read 10 books that are the winners of 10 different book awards.  This is another great way to expand your reading and it crossed over with some other challenges that I signed up for so I was excited to work through this one.  Here's what I read along with the award(s) the books won:

• Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy - Sabriel by Garth Nix
• Booker Prize - Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
• National Book Award - Fiction - World's Fair by E.L. Doctorow
• National Book Award - Nonfiction - Slaves in the Family by Edward Ball
• Nebula Award - Dune by Frank Herbert
• Newbery Medal - Roller Skates by Ruth Sawyer
• Pacific NW Booksellers' Award - Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
• Pulitzer Prize - Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
• Whitbread Children's Book Award & Carnegie Medal - Skellig by David Almond
• World Fantasy Award - Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay

As I'm looking at this list I realize that I enjoyed almost every one of these books enormously - it's easy to see why they won award.  Standouts were Wolf Hall, World's Fair, and Skellig, but every single one of these books (with the exception of Lonesome Dove which just didn't work for me) is worth the read!
