While not required, please feel free to post your Awards of the Decade plans in this thread.

OK. Here I go. I chose the Agatha Award Best First Novel from 1988 - 1997.

1988: A Great Deliverance by Elizabeth George - available in local library
1989: Grime and Punishment by Jill Churchill - available in GA library system
1990: The Body in the Belfry by Katherine Hall Page - available in GA library system
1991: Zero at the Bone by Mary Willis Walker - available in GA library system
1992: Blanche on the Lam by Barbara Neely - available in library system
1993: Track of the Cat by Nevada Barr - available in library system
1994: Do Unto Others by Jeff Abbott - will try to get through interlibrary loan or may have to buy used
1995: The Body In The Transept by Jeanne M. Dams - available in GA library system
1996: Murder on a Girls' Night Out by Anne George - available in GA library system
1997: The Salaryman's Wife by Sujata Massey - available in GA library system

Since 8 of 10 of these books will be available only through library loan, I suspect I will end up doing a random read, although I will attempt to read in order.

Oldie and Not-A-Novel bonus points on all ten, if I've understood correctly

I'm planning on Time Traveler order, starting at 1983.

Perhaps I will try this,

Different Prizes:

1999 A Small Death in Lisbon by Robert Wilson CWA Golden Dagger Award

2008 The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga Man Booker Prize

My guess is I will start at the bottom (most recent) and work my way up and try to get the Time Traveler points. Well, this didn't work.

The Goal:
15 points each = 150 + 2 nonfiction (Not a novel) 5 pointer = 160 + 50 Time Leaper bonus points for finishing = 210

1983 Nightmare Seasons World Fantasy Award for a Collection
1982 A Wild Sheep Chase Noma Literary Prize

15 points each = 150
10 before 1992 = 50
4 Not a Novel = 20
2nd Time Leaper Completion = 50
Prior Points = 210

Aiming for a Total = 480
