Another popular sub-challenge, back with a few twists!
Read 10 books, from 10 different award lists (see attached spreadsheet).
For tasks 15.1 – 15.10, your task is to read ten award-winning books from the lists on the linked spreadsheet below, without repeating an award.
Link to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Scoring:
Each task is worth 15 points.
500 pages or more: 5 pts
1997 or earlier: 5 pts
Finisher bonuses:
+50 points: All awards are within a 10-year period of your choice*
+50 points: All awards are in 10 different 10-year periods of your choice **
+100 points: Completing 10 Awards for EoTP Redux
* You are not required to use the traditional decade (eg 1990s) for your 10-year period. You may choose to define it as 1993-2002 for example. Just be sure to keep your range to 10 years. Pub years for Lifetime Achievement awards may fall outside your 10-year period and still qualify as long as the award year falls within the range. Repeating award years is acceptable.
** Periods cannot overlap: Your 10-year periods do not have to be absolutely consecutive, but no years within your 10-year periods will be contained in another; e.g. 1976-1985 & 1988-1997 work, but 1978-1987 & 1985-1994 do not work because both include 1985, 1986 and 1987. Again, pub years for Lifetime Achievement awards may duplicate a 10-year period and still qualify as long as the award year is within its own 10-year period.
A few notes:
I. You cannot claim regular style points for any book you read for Eyes on the Prize (nor do the EotP tasks count as combo style points for Reading with Style's 10 and 20 point tasks).
II. You can complete EotP three times with one important caveat: you cannot repeat an award. The above written task point & bonus structure will apply to each subsequent round.
III. All books read for this sub-challenge must be at least 100 pages, based on the most popular edition. Exception: You may claim one title from one of the poetry only awards (T.S. Eliot, Poet's Prize, Dorothy Livesay) that has at least 85 pages. All other poetry claims must meet the required 100 page minimum.
IV. Please be aware that although they may be included on one of the lists below cookbooks, illustrated guides, graphic novels are not allowed. Also, books designated as "YA", "Assignment", or "Juv" by the Brooklyn Public Library with a Lexile score less than 800 are not allowed.
