Minnesota Book Awards

Yet another year goes by that I have to miss the annual "Minnesota Book Awards" gala which is set for April 12 this year in St. Paul, Minnesota. This event is organized by Friends of the St. Paul Library (www.thefriends.org) with admission nearly the price of two hard cover books at only $40.00 :-)

As I reviewed the nominee list for these awards according to the following award categories:

Children's Literature
General non fiction
Genre fiction
Memoir and Creative non fiction
Minnesota
Novel and short story
Poetry
Young adult literature

I sadly noted that I have not read even ONE of the books nominated this year!!

Clearly we can always read more,

Todd
