The inaugural Golden Squirrel Independent Book Awards were awarded on December 15th, 2017.

These are the books or series that Book Squirrel has deemed the best in their genre from those which he has read or featured in 2017.





















In an entirely different category, rather than competing with those in other categories, Book Squirrel wanted to recognise the book that he enjoyed reading the most this year.
For its combination of legend, original story line, characterisation, and marvellous writing, Book Squirrel has chosen his
‘Favourite Read of the Year 2017’

Book Squirrel has been as fair and impartial as a squirrel can be in awarding the following winners with a 2017 Golden Squirrel Award.
Book Squirrel’s decisions are final, and no debate will be entered into.
