Black Quill Awards
There are zillions of awards for excellence given for books each year. Many are awarded for a specific genre like mystery or romance, others for best first novel, etc.

The Black Quill Award is in its third year of presentations and was awarded in February. It is given by an online magazine called Dark Scribe. They grab you immediately with their about page which features this ditty about th books they feature:

They make your pulse pound.
They make your heart race.
They make you turn their bloody pages in breathless anticipation.
These are the dark scribes...

and this is their magazine.

This year's Black Quill Awards go to (drum roll please)
