Our Library is planning on awarding our first annual "Bookie" Award in May.
Best male fictional character, fictional character that you'd most like to
meet etc. Does anyone have something similar that they would like to share
with me? It won't be online voting, just paper in-house voting.

You can reply off list if this is inappropriate for Fiction_L

It's not a library thing, but Romantic Times (now Romantic Tiimes Book Club)
has for years awwrds W.I.S.H. and K.I.S.S. awards. The former, I believe, is
Woman in Search of a Hero, and is awarded to contemporary books. The KISS
stands for Knight in Shining Silver, and is awarded to historical heroes.

Is this the kind of thing you mean?

For example, in the Feb 2004 issue, p. 37:

In Elizabeth Thornton's Shady Lady, Waldo Bowman is a confrimed rake reformed
by love

There are 4 other examples

Hope this helps.

I wish people wouldn't reply offlist. This sounds really interesting and a
possible program for other libraries. It sounds like it could turn into a
nice RA bookmark that patrons could use if they wanted to read the book with
the "favorite male character in a thriller" or "the best female character in
a highland romance", or whatever...

Jeanne and others, I wasn't sure if asking this kind of question was
considered extraneous chatter or not. I am still in need of some ideas and I
will compile and post to the list. Any and all suggestions are welcome!
