📚For your Reading Challenge: 11 books nominated for a literary award in 2020

Hey readers! One of the prompts for [the 2020 Reading Challenge]() is “read a book nominated for an award in 2020,” and you had all kinds of questions about how to find these books: How many literary awards are out there? Who nominates the books, and who picks the winners? How can I find books for this category? And what do those awards even mean? And a related question: if award-winning books are so great, why is actually reading them too often an underwhelming experience? If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not alone—and today's new blog post and book list are for you. To assist you in your own readerly challenge, today we’re sharing overviews of seven noteworthy literary awards, plus a new book list featuring 2020 award nominees and winners that I personally read and loved. [Click here for today's new post and book list](. We've also included our Reading Challenge checklist in that post for easy reference. With just over three months left in your reading year, you still have time to check all those boxes, if you'd like. Happy reading, friends! Anne P.S. I'm already stewing about what our version of a reading challenge for 2021 might look like. What are you hoping for from your reading life next year? I'd love to hear all about it. = Do you have a friend who would enjoy getting these emails? Please forward this email on to them.
