Christos | 219 comments I’m not voting yet because I want to read more of them before I make my decision, here’s what I’ve read so far

For Fantasy I’ve read The Bright Sword, book of doors, Emily Wilde #2, the tainted cup and I’m reading the warm hands of Ghosts

For Science Fiction I’ve read red side story, Stardust Grail, the other Valley, mercy of gods and Service model

For horror I’ve read I was a teenage slasher, Diavola, you like it darker, incidents around the house, house of bone and rain and the eyes are the best part

For debut novel I’ve read the eyes are the best part and book of doors

Trike | 11224 comments I’ve only managed to read a few of the nominees this year.

Fantasy:

When Among Crows is the only one I’ve read, but I have a library hold on The Dead Cat Tail Assassins. Haven’t voted.

Science Fiction:

I’ve read Service Model, The Mercy of Gods and The Ministry of Time with Baby X on hold. Voted for Ministry.

Debut novel:

I’ve only read Ministry, voted for that.

Clyde (wishamc) | 572 comments Voted for The Mercy of Gods and that's it.
It seems I was not even aware of most of this year's nominations. Guess I'm not keeping up, but I don't really need more books to read as my already enormous TBR stack is threating to fall over and crush me. 📚

Me too, really liked that one.

terpkristin | 4407 comments I read the romantasy winner and enjoyed it. I didn't enjoy Assistant to the Villain so I don't think I'd have liked its sequel.

I haven't read any of the fantasy books but Dead Cat Tail Assassins is on my TBR, as is the winner (the Klune book). I wasn't so in love with the Emily Wilde book to read its sequel, either.

On the SF list, I haven't read any of them, and haven't heard of most. This year has been a lot of fantasy, romantasy, and cozy mysteries.


message 11: by Trike (new)

Trike | 11224 comments The Ministry of Time won for SF, and that was my pick.

I also have the non-fiction books The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore and The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir on my TBR.

At some point I’ll probably read the Fantasy winner Somewhere Beyond the Sea, the sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea.

Laura (conundrum44) | 109 comments There is a a lot I want to read, but the only one I've read is Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle in horror. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
