Where's your nomination for that then?

Last year I considered nominating Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue by Hugh Howey*. It won the September 2009 "Most Eye Catching Cover" Covey Award**. It is the only book of his that I have seen with an award so I suspect that it is the reason he used to use the phrase "Award Winning Author" on some of his books. Given the acclaim of that particular award well...
"[T]echnically correct ... the best kind of correct."


Spoiler:
*He has been working on book 5 since late 2010 or so; if he had wrapped up the series I would nominate it but I hate to get into an abandoned series. I have enjoyed most of his books, including the first one in this series, and REALLY liked the Wool/Silo series.

**It looks like the "New Covey Awards" are now defunct, no updates since 2011.
