These do not have a clear winner and therefore appear to be a reading list, rather than an award.

I'll leave it up for awhile in case anyone wants to make a listopia.

Lobstergirl Listopias should arise organically from members, not be created in-lieu-of award lists by librarians.

True for the most part - but it was a worthy list subject, and I do enjoy creating lists, so I didn't mind making this one.

Listopias are frequently created to present best-of lists or other reading lists, and there is no policy reason not to do so.
