(But can we ban Nicholas Sparks entries?)

I would be glued to my couch cushion cheering on my favorite authors that year with a bowl of fresh pop corn and fingers crossed (which might make eating said pop corn difficult but not impossible). Though, I have to say that I would add a few categories such as…

Character You Love to Hate (Antagonists FTW)
The Death Scene to Die For (wow, is that cheesy or what)
Best Indie Book
Best Non-Fiction Book
Best Graphic Novel
Book of the Year

As far as fashion goes, I am the last person to ask. I may currently work for a department store but my fashion sense consists of jeans and a T-shirt on my days off (shoes optional). Guessing what others would wear or look good in is beyond my ability. Although, I think you should give that hat a try. You never know, you might actually like it. :)

Nowadays, I still don’t watch it because, well, Justin Beiber. The last few years, on Grammy night I’ve turned to BBC America and watched the BAFTAs. You gotta make the switch, Jim; you won’t be sorry. That said, I agree on all the other award shows. Around my sister’s house, Oscar night is one of the high holy days.

About an award show for the book industry — absolutely. Except I fear that we’d hear a lot of “so-and-so couldn’t be here tonight, so we’re accepting this in his/her honor…”

Where is Best Book of the Year on your list?
