Hi Shane
The Honorary Author Elite Award is for the author rather than the book, so it isn't eligible for going in the award field, but you can put it on your author bio.

I believe there is still a bug with entering awards on Goodreads, so I'm not entering awards currently. Another Librarian may feel differently. :)

I appreciate the update. Do you anticipate when the bug will be resolved?

No sorry, but another librarian appears to have entered some other awards successfully, so you never know.

Edit: Other librarians - I'm in the middle of what has turned into a massive project, so I won't be available to do these awards.

Is there a way to link the awards to my books so that readers can see them listed on my author page and under my books? Right now, I only see the NextGeneration Indie Award under my book. The BookFest awards are showing up but only in that article announcing the winners. The awards aren't listed under my actual books. I also noticed that my gold award for the Nonfiction Book Association is not listed. Lastly, my Children's book won second place. It wasn't a nominee. Sorry for the long message. I really appreciate your help.

Hi Erika,
Another librarian wants a second opinion on an award my book just won. Since you have helped me in the past, could you please review and add the below award to The Busy Bridge That Got Its Break

Please don't post duplicate requests.

In the active thread to which you referred, the librarian is consulting with staff. We prefer to wait for staff rulings in some cases so we don't inadvertently violate Goodreads policy (thereby running the risk of losing our librarian status.)

Please don't ask a librarian to step on a request that another librarian is already handling.

I did not post this with the intention of having someone "step on" another librarian's request. I thought I was helping as I interpreted the message that another opinion was needed.
I did not mean to offend or cause a problem - I was only trying to expedite the requested second opinion. Understood. Thank you for explaining.
