(I do NOT think it should be read by 12-year-olds! I'm still messed up from it.)<BR/><BR/>And I'd give CHARMED LIFE by Diana Wynne Jones the "book that convinces one that life is worth living after all" award. :-)Cara Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930608028959652445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-60994986616957029452009-03-31T09:46:00.000-07:002009-03-31T09:46:00.000-07:00I would give Norman Mclean's "A River Runs Through...I would give Norman Mclean's "A River Runs Through It" the "only book ever assigned in my American Lit classes that I would ever want to read a second time" award.The Golfing Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412569338660616260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-77601996857089079712009-03-31T06:33:00.000-07:002009-03-31T06:33:00.000-07:00Wonderful post, Tera, and I couldn't agree more ab...Wonderful post, Tera, and I couldn't agree more about being happy no matter which one of us wins!<BR/><BR/>Okay, here's my award: "The Vacation Frustration Award." Because about 10 years ago, on the way to Italy, I grabbed ONE FOR THE MONEY by Janet Evanovich. She had three or four out by then, but I figured, well, IF I liked it, I could get the others when I returned the following month.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, this was before Amazon delivered in Europe--or at least before I knew they did. <BR/><BR/>And although I had a wonderful vacation, it seemed like a very long month until I get could get my hands on #2!TinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.com
