Depends on what level are you doing. Only Demolisher can count books read last year (or read previous years' GRA book as exchange)
All other levels can count only books read in 2017.

No. Because it was that particular series book that won the award for 2016; and you are able to choose a different book from the category to read as it is opened up to nominees and not just winners.

Sorry.
