I LOVE the Oscars and am maybe way high with the excitement of the night but here's the idea: the Ocars for Books. (Can you tell this is just a blurt? because it's totally a crazy thought I am having watching the Oscars!)
I know we've got the Pulitzer and the Nobel and the National Book Award for books and the this and the that (no offense, I would love to be eligible for all those awards). But why don't we have books for the way that we read them? Best Lead Male Character? Best Female Lead Character? Best Plot? Most Lyrical? Most Suspenseful? Best Love Story? You tell me what else. This is how we read books. Let's award the ones that matter. I think Vroman's Bookstore may be excited about the idea as I twittered it to them moments ago. We can vote and announce the awards at the Mixed Roots Film & Literary Festival -- we've already got the space spoken for.
Okay, tell me: what do you think? And if you like the idea email Vroman's--they love getting emails and they also love for you to buy books from an indie as do I! Support your indie bookstores!
