Book award lists and medals
Mar 13, 2021
The idea is that there'd be lists of winners/nominees of certain writing awards (National Book Award, Nobel, Booker, Pulitzer, Hugo, Nebula, Women's Prize, etc) and when you view a book's page it would have maybe a medal icon and state what awards it was nominated for or won.

This would be really nice.
It could also be used to display in your stats how many books you read for from each prize (i do it currently through custom labels in the books and creating a custom graph), and maybe in the early recap there could also be something about it (you read 3 nobel prize books! or something like that)
Maybe could be done like everyone can see the awards in the book page, but only the Plus users see this in the stats and in the yearly recap, as this is not strictly necessary and I think Nadia is trying to improve the offering for Plus users
It shouldn't be superhard to implement as it's probably just a linked table to the books/authors with the awards, but then also the necessary tooling to update this info (at least to librarians) should also be implemented
I don't need the medal icon, but I would REALLY love a section on a book's page for awards - both won and short/longlisted for.
I love this idea! I would love to see that for children's book awards and lists as well. As a children's librarian, I would find it useful.
