Back again by popular demand ( or maybe not, we only have a third of last years participants). Clear some of those nominee from your shelves now that you've polished off the winners.

6 participants - so far.

Updated for Reading levels. You can rise up the levels from merely Disadvantaged to complete Underdog.

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		I've joined this challenge too. I'm starting with books I'm already planning on reading this year. Hopefully I'll be able to move closer to Underdog

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, USA		Forgot to mention, I loved this challenge last year. It was a great challenge finding books that were only nominated. I had (and now for this year, have) a spreadsheet with each award and on the left, a column for winners that I've read or plan on reading, and on the right, a column for the nominees. I had a lot of fun constantly juggling these around as my interest in books waxed and waned through the year, and as I found out if these books were in my local library system or not. In the end, inter-library loans from Seattle, Eugene OR, and Corvalis OR saved the day.

Location: New Zealand		Finished. I really loved the books I read for this challenge, in many cases more than the winners of their respective awards. Thanks for a fun challenge.
