Oregon Book Awards and Contest

Posted by Alison Hallett on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 3:37 PM

The 23rd annual Oregon Book Awards are tonight at the Armory, but the real action is over at Reading Local , where the first person to correctly guess the night's winners gets a $25 gift card to the bookstore of their choice.

My picks:

FICTION:
Liveability, by Jon Raymond
POETRY:
All-American Poem, by Matthew Dickman
GENERAL NONFICTION:
Hiding Man: A Biography of Donald Barthelme by Tracy Dougherty
CREATIVE NONFICTION
Live Through This by Debra Gwartney
YOUNG ADULT
A Tugging String by David Greenberg

Though I haven't read or heard of any of the YA nominees, so that's a wild card. Hit the Reading Local blog to check out the lists of nominees and throw in your picks.
