Just letting you know that this link ( http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/Fiction ) has all the pulitzer winners up to 2008 and the 2009 winner will be announced April 20.
So, this may be a stupid question, but here goes anyway. I'm new to this and want to join in for the Spring Challenge and I'm wondering how we tell you what books we've read/how many points we have? Thanks!
Do you have the worksheet for the Spring Challenge? And can I please get partnered up with someone? Thanks!
