nonofficial best book award (!!!)

Thanks times a million to Abbie (GO SEE HER BLOG IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND SO IS SHE) for tagging me for the nonofficial best book award. I was really excited. Really. So here's the rules and my list and my nominees!!!!!!!
Rule #1 - steal the tag. 
Rule #2 - fill in the tag.
Rule #3 - tag people to steal the tag
Rule #4 - SHARE YOUR LINK because books are best and i need more to add to my list.

  1. Best Male Character // Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird. Also loved what Abbie had to say about Edmund's character from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. So much development. He's one of my favorites, too.
  2. Best Female Character // Jo from Little Women. "You are the gull, Jo, strong and wild, fond of the storm and the wind, flying far out to sea, and happy all alone."
  3. Best Protagonist (good guy/main character) // probably everyone in Lord of the Rings. Also Bilbo is an absolutely marvelous protagonist. I could go on and on and on, but then I'd be asleep so.
  4. Best Antagonist (bad guy/opposing party to main character) Do you even realize how difficult this is for me. I'll just go with Harry Potter only. Because. Harry Potter. Voldemort, Bellatrix, and Umbridge are all villains that I just can. not. handle. Jo did an incredible job with them I simply can't handle it.
  5. Best Plot Development // Harry Potter series BECAUSE REALLY THE PLOT IS WOVEN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE 7 BOOKS AND IT'S AMAZING TO LOOK BACK ON.
  6. Best Plot Twist // Gone with the Wind. I feel like the entire book was just a big plot twist.
  7. Book You Threw Across The Room Hardest (in either a bad or good way) // Probably every book ever. I get a little bit too emotionally involved. OKAY OKAY, I'll pick one. The Boston Jane series just had me cringing and hitting myself and in actual physical pain because why can't she just listen to my advice?!
  8. Best Romance // An Old-fashioned Girl. Okay, don't judge by the title. Do not judge in any way whatsoever. Just read it and feel all the feels.
  9. Best Action // Fearless. ??????
  10. Best Other Book (i don't even know what i would put these ones under...but there were a few that deserved recognition.) // The Book Thief no words like don't even talk to me it probably could be put under every category here
  11. Best Book That Made You Change the Way You Think // The Help + Night
  12. Best Inspiring Book // Okay, I know inspiring can be used to mean different things, but The Last Battle was really just wow. It inspired me to want to get to heaven already. ;)
  13. Best Book That Made You Learn Something New // And the Mountains Echoed and Unbroken
  14. Best Sad Book // Wow there's so many to choose from *rolls eyes at how many depressing books seem to show up in my life* ok. The Velveteen Rabbit though. Yes, it's a children's book, and, yes, it still hurts.
  15. Best Funny Book // The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society read it!!!!!!!! sublime in all the areas of goodness.
