Laura's Before-Challenge Reads
Friday, June 1, 2007 by Laura
When I lived in England, I often turned to the Booker Prize lists for my TBR and for new-to-me authors. So, as an adult, I've read more Booker winners than any other prize (and in addition to the list below, I've read 13 from Booker shortlists!). I also like Pulitzer winners ... and Costa/Whitbread ... and Newbery ... this challenge is for me!!
