The Snot Awards.

Plain kate Plain kateErin Bow, at The Book Smugglers:

I get that it is a compliment, to tell authors that you cry. And I get that we want books that make us cry. I do, anyway. Just not necessarily in front of dozens of strangers.

This is why I am proposing a new literary award. It is to be called the SNOT award. Given to STORIES NOT to be read ON TRANSIT, the SNOT shall honor and mark books that will make you ugly-cry while on a crowded cross-town bus.

The SNOT sticker will be gold and embossed, and will stand as both a ringing endorsement and a useful warning.

AND IT SHOULD HAVE TAGGLE ON IT.
