THE SPREADSHEET
Don't forget to include a link to your book when reporting (so we can all have a nose at what you read and add to our TBRs ;-)) as well as listing what award it was for (and whether it was a winner or a nominee just for my curiosity's sake).And don't forget we have a couple bonus points on some of them so let me know if you read a book/watched a film which qualifies for those too.
What, I am the first to report that I am finished with a book? Whoa! I finished The Road for Pulitzer Prize winner.
I finished The Black Mountain for Emmy Award for Television (Nero Wolfe TV show in 1980s and 2000s).
I finished The Scarecrow and His Servant by a Carnegie Award winner. (The author won the medal for his 1995 book Northern Lights, which is also The Golden Compass.
Updated to here. Just gone over the 100 point mark!
The spreadsheet is updated to here, too. ^_^
I finished The Sirens of Titan for the Sci Fi award. This books was nominated for the Hugo award in 1960
I finished The Sinner. It is for the Emmy award for television as it is part of the Rizzoli and Isles series which there was a tv show based on.
Spreadsheet updated to here - awesome work everyone!
Updated to here. Good reading guys. And bonus points :-) That's what I like to see!
Our spread sheet and our reporting thread are not matching up.For the spreadsheet:
Cherie only read one Pulitzer the second one should be an Emmy
For the reporting:
Travis read an Academy award
Emily for a Hugo Award
Amanda for an Emmy
I think that's it
As long as the reporting thread is correct, that's all that counts. That is what J'mom goes by. I missed those three posts next to each other as they didn't show up in my page for some reason but i am using a stupidly small screen as my laptop is playing up. Nice one for pointing those out Vivki. I'll update asap.I finished Pines for Emmys.
Thank you Vicki! Changing it now. Also adding some paper to my system so hopefully it won't happen again... but yell at me if it does. :D
All done and we've just gone over the 200 point mark. Yippee!
I can report now, that I have finished watching the movie A Beautiful Life.
I finished watching Cool Runnings for the bonus points. I am tired after my 4 12 hour shifts in a row so I was finding it hard to focus on a book today. So I watched the movie instead. Have a good night everyone!
Off to work now but I'll update thread when I'm back.
The spreadsheet is updated through post 45 - great work, everyone! :Deta: By which I mean post 47, hehe. Awesome timing, Tasha! ~high five~
