The March theme for our "Read with The Snail" Reading Challenge is a book that was nominated for an award last year. We aren't picky about the kind of award — it could be the Pulitzer or the Southern Book Prize from our friends at the Southern Booksellers Alliance. Here are some of our favorite award lists to browse, and below are some recommendations from those lists.
We can't wait to see what you share this month; make sure to share on social media and use the hashtag #ReadwithTheSnail.
