Thanks for bringing this prize to my attention. I did not know about it before.

[Anita]

Yes, thanks so much for sharing. I had not heard of it either, but I always love to see what is chosen for awards.

If you like or are interested in Australian authors this is a good prize along with the Miles Franklin.

[Susie]

The World Without Us was fabulous!

I think I've heard of that one. I spend a lot of time on Goodreads getting awards entered on the books and The Stella is neglected. I might work on it next.

Thanks for posting. I love learning about new awards.

On the book page of books that have won an award, there are links to those awards.

See: The Eye of the Sheep, which won the Miles Franklin Award. (If you don't see this, click "more details" beneath the format/publisher information.) In this way, awards are displayed per book. But the award name is also a clickable link to all of the books that have won that award and any nominees.

Members who have applied for and been awarded "librarian" status can make edits to book records. There are a lot of us, and we're all volunteers who help to add to the accuracy of the book records on the site.

I thought this list had already been posted in PBT but checked and found it posted in another group.

Hope Farm and The Natural Way of Things are the two that caught my eye. Hope Farm is only available in audio and The Natural Way of Things won't be released until June so won't be reading either of them any time soon.

I thought that also, but searched for the thread and could not find one before I posted this

Thank you for the explanation. I went and looked at the example book you gave and found the link. Very helpful. Had no idea I could find stuff this way

There is also a way to get to all awards. Click on "Explore" and scroll down about halfway on the right side. Click the bar "Recent Award Winners." All of the awards at Goodreads are on the resultant page, in order by most added. The search is case sensitive. There is a lot of work to be done in this area, but can be helpful/interesting.

The link is not working today... is anyone else having the same problem?

[Denizen]

The amount of information listed on the book page is one of the features I really like on GR. I just created a short list and long list shelf for my books. It's easier than having shelves for every award and many short list books especially are nominated for multiple awards.

I love just being able to scroll down to see the reviews and also ratings without reviews of all my friends without having to click on multiple pages.

This link works today (yes, I couldn't get there yesterday either).

Because you brought this to my attention, and because the prize has been in existence for such a short time, I was able to get all of the books entered here - winners, shortlisted, longlisted, 2013-2016.
