Would it be possible to have a separate list for YA titles (starting with this 2020 list and going forward)? I've just gone through the 2019 list, and at nearly 600 titles it got a little cumbersome to navigate, and as far as I gathered, at least half were YA titles. (My apologies if this has been brought up before.)

Wow, someone added a bunch of books that don't belong here.

The Art of Racing in the Rain (#66) was released in 2008.

Where the Crawdads Sing (#64) isn't sci fi or fantasy and was released in 2018

Nevernight (#63) was released in 2016

Wonder Woman (#61) was released in 2017

Scythe (#60) was released in 2016

Verity (#58) was released in 2018 and isn't sci fi or fantasy

Of Ice and Shadows (#55) was released in 2019

OK, I just went through and deleted all the ones from my previous comment.

Deleted Queen of Nothing as it was bumped up to a 2019 release!

Dead Astronauts by Jeff VanderMeer and Burning White by Brent Weeks are 2019 releases

The Never Tilting World has already been published in 2019.

why even bother to list the next GOT books, or the gentleman bastards next book, for that matter.

Please, please take Doors of stone off the list, why do people do this to themselves when there's so many great books coming out and i can't find anything to suggest it's out in 2020?
I haven't added as they are cross genre but shouldn't A Longer Fall and Alpha Night and maybe even Wicked Bite be in here too, they all have release dates

Please take off The Never Tilting World as it has already been released in October of 2019

The Burning White came out in 2019

"To Sleep in a Sea of Stars" by Christopher Paolini is listed twice ( #105 and #281 ).

Missing out on The Black Shade of White - Justice by the polish author Renata Cattleya Levy

While you're removing things, Fire & Blood II, #49, isn't even scheduled yet. Since Martin has at least 6 other things coming out in some edition or another in 2020, I think it's a way off. And most of the "untitled" entries don't belong here either--nearly always these end up with duplicate entries when someone else enters them when a title is announced.

I wonder why #112, "A Murderous Relation," is on this list. None of the previous books in this series of "historical" mysteries had any supernatural or scifi elements. I like this series a lot, but it's not fantasy other than in the sense that all fiction is.

#382, The Nobleman's Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks, isn't fantasy, nor is#231, Carrie Vaughn's The Ghosts of Sherwood--no ghosts at all in that one, just a lurking outlaw. #31, A Desolation Called Peace has a scheduled date of March 2, 2021

There are literally NO good fantasy/sci fi books being written today. The writing quality is on a par with Wattpad. The storytelling is just gone. No, I don't care about some modern thinking chick in a Medieval/Renaissance or something world which has magic tarot cards, and can sword fight, and because of the recent news, the must have physical description so we know she isn't fair skinned. Just NO. Oh, yeah. Forgot the evil father in my description.

I very much disagree--there actually are writers producing genre novels that are all about terrific characters and strong stories. I will agree that most of the stuff that publishers are pushing are exactly as you describe, and I find myself slogging through all too many of them, particularly in "epic" fantasy. Some of the very bestnew stuff is published as "horror," although I would have to say horror light--there're dark elements in Lord of the Rings, etc, and these books aren't any more horror than those. Try Christine Henry, T Kingfisher, Stephen Hopstaken. In scifi, Lois McMasters Bujold (also fantasy) keeps on producing great stories as do Martha Wells, Peter Clines, Jack Campbell, and Elizabeth Moon. These are just a few of the many examples of both new and older writers who continue to put out great stories year after year.
