I don't know if I'll be able to finish this challenge. I found out today the book I thought ws available at the library is only available to university students. **sigh**

I am having trouble finding a book that meets all the restrictions I placed on this challenge. A "diary" type book that is lucky, has also received an award that starts with the letter "I" (I'm spelling B.R.I.D.E.S.), and is also available at my library. Well, I found finally found , which won several Irish book awards, but I am only on the wait list.

I'll keep searching, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm receptive.
