* Comment below with the book you're reading for the challenge, the name of the award it won and the date it was presented. Mark it CHALLENGE COMPLETE if you've read the book.

That works! I accidentally deleted the question - but the Spoken Word Awards from the Grammy absolutely works.

I'm listening to the audio of Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly. It won the Newbery award in 2018.

I just got All Systems Red from library hold. It won a 2018 Alex Award - announced Feb. 15, 2018.

This book actually works for all 3 challenges! Yay.

MIne was a red cover book. All That Remains by Patrica Cornwell

What did you think of it? I read that a few months back.

I read Lab Girl by Hope Jahren in Feb. The book won the AAAS Subaru science award in 2017 awarded on 2/1/17

I enjoyed the book a lot. Jahren does a wonderful job mixing stories and science in an enjoyable and understandable way.
