They have award shows for movies and TV shows where they choose the best
actor/actress, the best screenplay, the best director, etc. However, one thing I
have always wondered is why don’t they have an award show for books? I
mean I know I would watch that! So I decided to take things into my own
hands and create the first annual Book Awards for the books I read in 2021.
Hope you enjoy and let me know if the comments if you agree with my
winners and who your 2021 book award winners are!

Best Male Main Character
.
Thomas Cresswell – Stalking Jack the Ripper
Prince Kai – Cinder
Mark Watney – The Martian
.
And the winner for best male main character is….
.
THOMAS CRESSWALL FROM STALKING JACK THE RIPPER.

.
Every time Thomas appeared in this book, heck in this whole series, I just
felt my heart flutter. I cannot remember the last time I have loved a character
so much and his relationship with Audrey Rose was just the cherry on top.
.
Best Female Main Character
.
Audrey Rose Wadsworth – Stalking Jack the Ripper
Cinder – Cinder
Daisy Jones – Daisy Jones & the Six
.
And the winner for best female main character is….
.
Daisy Jones!
.
Y’all had to know this was coming. Lol All of the ladies in the nominee list are
strong women who can fend for themselves, however in the end it
was Daisy Jones, with her brokenness and wayward spirit that just won my
heart. I related to her in many ways and I loved her “I don’t care and won’t take
no shit from anyone” attitude.
.
Best Female Supporting Character
.
Iko – Cinder
Old Mrs. Hempstock – The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Ilsa Flynn – This Savage Song
.
And the winner of best female supporting character is….
.
IKO FROM CINDER

.
Iko is sassy, funny, and even though she is a cyborg she is one the best
friends a girl could ask for. She was definitely a great addition to not just
Cinder but the entire Lunar Chronicle Series.
.
Best Male Supporting Character
.
Dr. Jonathan Wadsworth – Stalking Jack the Ripper
Mephistopheles – Escaping From Houdini
Captain Carswell Thorne – Cress
.
And the winner for best supporting male character is….
.
CAPTAIN CARSWELL THORNE, CRESS

.
Remember how earlier when I was talking about Thomas Cresswell I said I
couldn’t imagine loving a character more? Yeah well that was true until I
meant Captain Thorne. He is cocky and a bit of a player, but my god if I just don’t
love the absolute crap out of him. I need a book entirely about him and from
his point of view please!
.
Best Storyline
.
These are the books that I just couldn’t put down and had a plot that was easy
to follow, entertaining, and without many if any plot holes.
The nominees for best storyline are…
.
The Martian by Andy Weir
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
.
And the winner for best storyline is….
.
THE MARTIAN BY ANDY WEIR
.
.
While all these books were amazing The Martian is the one I remember
opening every time I had even just a second to read. It was obvious a lot of research
by Weir had been done to write it
and even though it contained a lot of science it was so funny and entertaining.
Like seriously funny. I was laughing at loud through some parts and I don’t think
a smile ever left my face while reading. Cannot wait to read Project Hail Mary.
.
Best Author
.
There really wasn’t an author I disliked in 2021. All 27 provided me with easy
to follow stories that were mostly entertaining and made me want
to read from them again.
The 3 nominees for best author in 2021 are:
.
Marissa Meyer, The Lunar Chronicles
Kerri Maniscalco, Stalking Jack the Ripper Series
Victoria Schwab, This Savage Song & This Dark Duet
.
And the winner for best author is….
MARISSA MEYER!

.
All the authors on this nominee list I had the opportunity to read multiple books
from and while it was a close call I have to give the win to Marissa Meyer.
The characters she created in The Lunar Chronicles were sublime and her
writing instantly transported you to their world.
.
Best Book Cover
.
Picking a winner for best book cover was difficult as there were many amazing
book covers to look at from the list of books I read in 2021.
The top 3 nominees are:
.
.
And the winner for best book cover of 2021 is….
.
CLAP WHEN YOU LAND BY ELIZABETH ACEVEDO
.
I love all the different colors on the cover of this book and I really like how the
airplanes separate the two girls. Overall I just found this cover to be very visually
appealing and one that stands out.
