Birthday banner 19
2023


Everyone likes to be recognized
So we updated the system for books that are prized.
One list, by volume, surpasses the rest—
With works for children that are seen as the best.

57 v1v1enne : For #19, think of awards, rather than lists. Richard Ayoade was one of the winners with his book about an unread book.

And the last one is found... I must have been coming from the wrong direction...

>2 humouress: The first part of the hint (unspoilered) was very helpful, but the name in the spoiler I found to be a complete red herring.
However there is a list of awards on the Zeitgeist page, sorted in various ways, including "by volume"!

239 mahsdad : Start in Zeitgeist. Look for the category there that would have works that were prized. Then look for the one that has the most works listed that also happens to be for kids.

242 mr.philistine : Check the awards section of the author mentioned in (>2 humouress:) 57 v1v1enne:

243 atozgrl : This one also gave me fits. I was looking on the main Zeitgeist page, clicking on links, and getting nothing. Instead, if you are on the Zeitgeist page, go to Awards and Honors in the left-hand column, and on the resulting page look for the section that has the most works.

Also, FYI, you are not looking for a book or author.

>2 humouress: This hint was such a trip for me, great way to close out the hunt. I used to love Submarine by Joe Dunthorne that was made into a movie by Richard Ayoade

What a throwback, back in my Tumblr days haha
