Hollow World is a Goodreads Reader's Choice Award Nominee
For the fourth time, I have a book nominated in the Goodreads Reader's Choice Award. This year it's Hollow World which is nominated in the
Science Fiction Category
. Here is the full set of nominated books:
Ancillary Sword by Ann LeckieAnnihilation by Jeff VandermeerApolonia by Jamie McGuireBetter World, a by Marcus SakeyCalifornia by Edan LepuckiCibola Burn by James S.A. CoreyEarth Awakens by Orson Scott CardFirst Fifteen Lives of Harry August, the by Harry AugustFlight of the Silvers, The by Daniel PriceHeaven's Queen by Rachel BachHollow World by Michael J. SullivanInflux by Daniel SuarezLines of Departure by Markos KloosLock In by John ScalziLong Mars, The by Terry Pratchett and Stephen BaxterMartian, the by Andy WeirOut of the Black by Evan CurrieSand by Hugh HoweyTo Honor You Call Us by H. Paul HonsingerWorld of Trouble by Ben H. WintersI'm doubly honored. First, by being included with an incredible array of Science Fiction from some amazing authors, and second, because it is the readers who select who is nominated. In the past, my other three nominations came in the first round, determined by rankings and number of people who have shelved the book. This year, I was thrilled to get an email from both my agent and publisher indicating that Hollow World was one of the five write-in nominees. I really hadn't expected that, and I'm so grateful for all the people who worked to get it on the ballot.
Second round entries never win...they miss out on a ton of votes that occur during the first round, and even if I didn't have that handicap working against Hollow World, I have no illusions about it's widespread appeal. Still, it truly is an honor just to be nominated and I couldn't be happier about that.
