So Josephine has only won one awards so far, as the read count exploded so quickly that within only a few months, it was so high that most awards wouldn't accept it XD
Fr DJ Khaled, mans speaks the truth lol. But waaay early on (February '21 I believe) Josephine won second place in the Strawberry Milkshake Awards courtesy of the BerryPatchCommunity.
So yeah, we're unlikely to see many more awards going to this book for that reason. Especially now that we're closing in on 16.5K reads and 2.2K votes. But here are a few personal achievements I'd like to give regarding it.
**********************************************
Fastest Premier Book Date: 80 reads+25 votes on the first day of release
First book to ALMOST be translated into another language: Polish (Person dropped the ball reeee)
Longest Book: 820 pages, 185,000 words, 105 chapters
Quickest Road to 1000: February 24, 2021

Also some of these were just comments at the end of the book that fit my definition of review, you'll probably agree.

Josephine is one of the best stories out there! The characters are amazing, the timeline is incredible, the story is well written and crafted to perfection and you should really read the whole thing from end to end!

"This novel is Jack's magnum opus (lol). Characters are extremely well developed throughout the story, plot is concise and unique, and always kept me on my toes! Would seriously recommend, it is a chef's kiss, ten out ten,"
-KingColumbar40 (08/14/21)
"Your grammar and punctuation and vocab choice is flawless, so full marks there. Josephine is a wonderful character, she's no saint, but then again she wouldn't be such an interesting character if she was perfect at the beginning. Unfortunately, I can only give you 4.9 stars out of 5, I'm a Classist and I study Ancient Greek and Roman culture. When you burned the city of Rome it broke my heart, so I had to take off a small mark,"

(Yeah okay that's fair, I deserved that. Put this on r/murderedbywords ladies and gents)

"Wow this way sooooo good! A twenty-one gun salute for you comrade!"
-GeneralNikolaevichY (10/23/21)
(My god, when the leader of a communist utopia loves a book featuring an absolute monarch, you know you've won)
"NOOOO! This book was the best!"
-streetshops (08/24/21)
"A good but also sad end to an amazing book,"
-Timvr2003 (08/14/21)
"Nice book man, thanks for the memes and memories,"
-flamesword01 (02/13/22)
"This story is a mix and match. The title doesn't really stand out, but maybe adding an interesting subtitle will make it more memorable and eye catching. Grammar and vocabulary are perfect. The author's research is impressive. With lots of historical atmosphere, engaging characters and a suspenseful plot, it offers a very different take on alternate American history. All in all, a very good read,"
