Putting my money where my mouth is: Other Awards

There are other awards, which are not Cybils or ALA. Hard to believe I know, but they do exist! I have a sort of random selection of awards that I've found work well in our library. I had a beautiful, comprehensive list of them.... which I lost. So I had to recreate it. There are a lot more, especially in the teen realm, but I don't really use those much.

Books reviewed on my main blog are linked to their review. (P) indicates they were purchased for the library. (R) means it was read and listed on my shorter review blog, Flying Off My Bookshelf.
