Absolutely! Other awards are welcome too. The ones in your main comments are the awards CFD follows the closest, but absolutely fine to include other awards.

Christine wrote: "I'm in I am going to do Reading the Winner 6-15. Can we include the Kipp awards?"

A category near and dear to my heart...awards. :-)

It's tough to find award information and I'm certain I missed several books with awards. Of those tracked, I read 32 with awards.
