It’s time for one of my favorite blog posts of the year!  For some reason, giving my books high school yearbook awards never fails to tickle me.  Enough prelude, y’all know what this post is.  Let’s go.

Brainiest.  Hermione Lee definitely takes the award this year, because no one but a certifiable genius could have written this tome of a biography and literary critique of Edith Wharton.  Also, her name is Hermione, so.

Best Looking.  Sometimes this superlative goes to that-girl-who-isn’t-conventionally-pretty-but-hot-damn-there’s-just-something-about-her, and that is Anne Boleyn in a nutshell.

Best Friends.  OMG!  This hardly ever happens, but the votes were tied.  Sloane, Ardie and Grace get the award for sticking together through thick and thin and maybe murder? but Deja and Josiah racked up just as many votes for their charming and sweet #goals friendship.

Class Clown.  Who but David Litt, official jokes writer for President Obama, could take the Class Clown superlative?  Just about anything that Obama said that was funny, you can bet – it had Litt’s fingerprints on it.

Biggest Jock.  So he gets injured early on – Marcus Aquila is the definition of the jock who grows up and joins the military.  Also, he’s brave and loyal and I think probably pretty nice to look at, so he gets the votes.

Teacher’s Pet.  Math geek Katherine gets this award, for her sheer determination to distinguish herself academically, and also because, um, well, read the book.

Biggest Nerd.  When you carry around a purple notebook full of poetry that you scribble out while huddled in the girls’ bathroom – even as an all-grown-up substitute teacher – you’re definitely a nerd.  But that’s okay, because nerds can still get the guy.

Most Creative.  Edith Holden is definitely the artsy dreamer of the bunch this year.  She’s the girl who is always wandering around with her head in the clouds, doodling pictures of flowers and birds in her notebook.

Most Opinionated.  Ben Rhodes, one of President Obama’s top foreign policy aides, had opinions coming out of his ears – and he lays them all out in his fantastic memoir.

Most Likely to End Up in Hollywood.  I was a little underwhelmed by the shifting narratives, but the stories of Sally, Irina and Olga seem tailor-made for the big screen.  Who wouldn’t want to see the glitz and glamor of 1950s D.C.?

Biggest Rebel.  Bri is definitely the rebel this year – determined to stun the world with her raps, heedless of any consequences.  And there are many, many consequences.

Biggest Loner.  When you are so determined to have your peace and quiet that you will literally commit murder to get it – like Maud – you’re definitely the biggest loner.  Piece of advice: DO NOT move into Maud’s apartment building.

Cutest Couple.  Alex Claremont-Diaz, First Son of General Adorableness, and Henry, Prince of Smoldering Glances and Falling Into Cakes, are definitely the cutest of all the cute couples this year.  What I wouldn’t give to roll with their crowd of jet-setting pals…

Prom King.  There’s no way Frank Gresham doesn’t win Prom King – this isn’t the year for a sleeper write-in joke vote.  Frank is the Captain of the football team, President of the student body, and clearly, the Prom King.

Prom Queen.  Party girl Daisy Jones is this year’s Prom Queen – how could she not be?  Both because she’s the life of every party, would look great with a crown, and because I want to see what Frank Gresham makes of her when the Prom Court dances in front of the entire senior class.

Most Likely to Succeed.  If there is one person who is bound and determined to meet every goal, it’s Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan.  Luckily she has her BFF, Amilyn Holdo, to lighten her up when she gets too steely-eyed and driven.

This post is always way too much fun.  Who would you give yearbook superlatives to from your booklist?
