Booksology The finalists for the 2nd Libby Book Awards were announced on February 4th. The award was chosen by the librarian as the best book “enchanting readers, inducing conversations, turning pages late into the night.” ”
Award categories include everything from horror to trendy romance. One thing that you notice distinguishing these awards from other awards is that they also have the Best Cookbook category. Also, each category appears to have at least one book by non-white authors, with odd writers everywhere.
