[Thomas]

I have not read any.

[Jackie]

I have not read any of these either.

[Jan C]

Haven't read any either.

[Gisela]

None, never heard of it before. Not a great list fan.

[Faith]

I've read Before the Fall, Dodgers and IQ. They were excellent. I also read Mississippi Noir but I don't remember the nominated short story.

[Carol]

I read The Ex. It was nonsense, and the ending didn't hang together.

[Zoe]

I have read Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye and wow that was an amazing retelling yet slightly different of Jane Eyre and really good people should read that. I have heared of Kate Summersale The Wicked Boy, I really need to get hold of that.

[Jan C]

I think the only one I'd heard of was The Wicked Boy.

[KES]

Rain Dogs and Jane Steele, that's it. Couple more titles on my towering TBR pile.

[Jim]

I read Before the Fall (liked it) and Alfred Hitchcock (okay)

The 7th Canon is on my TBR shelf. I have read My Sister's Grave and enjoyed it so I have high hopes for this one

Really enjoy "best of" & "award nominations" lists. I always search the titles online to pick the ones that grab me.
Especially enjoy reading all of the short stories to see if my choice matches the opinion of the awards committee.

Gadzooks! I thought I was keeping up with what's new, but I have only read Before the Fall from this list. Oddly enough, even though they are nominees, many of them did not appeal to me when I read their descriptions. I may give a few a try.
