Is anyone else super excited for the Goodreads awards tomorrow?! 😃 I don‘t really buy or read the winners but I always enjoy looking!! 😆

julesG I'm looking. I'm frowning sometimes at the nominees, some are pretty recent publications. Still, it's always interesting to see what gets voted. 2y

I just want to say something about the CYBILs today as nominations close October 15th! I love this award program online and would love if you‘ve read any great kidlit or YA books that are recently published to go nominate! http://www.cybils.com/2020/10/2020-cybils-nominations-and-go.html

There‘s tons of recommendations floating around on twitter too if you search the hashtag! ❤️

Okay

This is your official notice that I am posting the Winners. I have finally found a little bit of time to get the graphics done and get all of these posted.

I'm sorry these are coming in late. We have had people out sick at work and I am a Letters about Lit judge meaning I have over 3500 letters to authors to read, plus I now get to judge grants and they just tossed 100 on my desk. So I am doing this before I start those.

Please Share

Scochrane26 Thanks so much for doing this! Lots of fun. I don‘t remember it last year, but I was new & prob wasn‘t following you at the time. 4y

julesG Thanks for all the work! 4y
MelissaSue81 Voted. This is great!
I do have one question. Fredrik Backman's “Things My Son Needs to Know About the World“ is listed as Short Story/Novella. I actually accidentally voted for it before reading the category. Is it in the wrong category? It is non-fiction, more of a memoir than anything..
4y
Clwojick Done! 4y
LibrarianRyan @MelissaSue81 if it was short enough I (which it was) I left it in. I didn‘t realize it was considered NF 4y

Scochrane26 Thanks for doing these @librarianryan ! I didn‘t vote in some categories because I haven‘t read the books. The memoir category was so hard because most of them are on hold at the library, so I haven‘t gotten to read them yet. 4y

Have you voted yet in our very own Litsy awards?! Have a look at the link below that takes you to a Google form. There‘s a lot of categories but you don‘t have to vote in every one (and indeed you need to have read the book to vote for it!)

Voting closes on January 8th at 2pm EST - why not join in?!

LibrarianRyan This is the final round for at least once category.

You all did great with your nominations. There has never been such a variety in the nominations in the three years since these awards have existed. Which is why I have to beg forgiveness for the delay in getting it posted.

Please vote, repost, share, and everything else.

I look forward to seeing what books win!!

Trashcanman Woooot! 4y
ljuliel I voted. I‘m sorry I wasn‘t very much help in most categories, Ryan. I apparently don‘t read many new release books ! Good luck and thank you. 4y
mabell Nice work!! Thanks for doing this! 4y
LibrarianRyan @OrangeMooseReads I have that same problem. Since I am not in the public library world anymore, if it's not a big name author, I don't really see it or pay attention and then I'm like ...uh... wow. 4y
LibrarianRyan @ljuliel There are only a few categories I can vote in myself. I love discovering new books. And there is one category that is like 75% my 5 star selections because there was only 3 other nominations in a huge category. So..... 4y
LibrarianRyan @mabell You are welcome. happy voting. 4y
Chrissyreadit I voted! I‘m very stressed by how many books I have not read YET 4y
LibrarianRyan @Chrissyreadit I was amazed at the variety this year! the last few years the same books would pop up over and over and over. According to the GR list I made of all the nominations, there is 220 separate titles. and that does not include the ones I took out because they came out in the wrong year. 4y
Chrissyreadit Whoa!!!!!! 4y
BookNAround I never do seem to have read the biggest buzziest new releases. But I voted where I could! 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego *appreciate the effort 4y
LibrarianRyan @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I don‘t either. There is one category that is 75% my nominations but as for the rest I haven‘t even read 2% of. Thanks for sharing. 4y
Bookwormjillk This must have taken a lot of effort. Thanks so much. I just voted- and added a bunch to my TBR! 4y
sarahs.thoughts.on.books Must remember to come back to this. Sightly disappointed that a book I'm currently reading isn't nominated in one of the categories, and it looks like it won't be nominated next year (it's got a 2019 copyright, but most books released the same day have a 2020. Or maybe just eBook is 2019), which is a shame. / Also this has been a great reminder of books I need to read 4y
alisiakae Yay!! Thank you for all of your hard work! 🗳 now! 🥳🙌🏽 4y
LibrarianRyan @essayareayaitch What book is it. There is one 2018 on this list because it came out Dec 31, 2018. 4y
sarahs.thoughts.on.books @LibrarianRyan oh good. Then it'll show up next year (Such a Fun Age) 4y
LibrarianRyan @essayareayaitch as long as someone nominates it yes. I look at the release dates and if it is the last week of the year I allow it. 4y
Graciouswarriorprincess Done! Thank you so much! 4y

Mitch Yeah - just voted - can‘t wait to see how it pans out 🏆✔️🏆 4y
ValerieAndBooks I don‘t know what it says about me but I haven‘t read a single book nominated. That I don‘t get to new releases fast enough? Some I definitely do want to read though! 4y
LibrarianRyan @ValerieAndBooks don‘t feel bad I hadn‘t read almost any in the adult nominated categories. So I get it. So so get it. 4y
Reecaspieces Wow! This took some work! Fantastic job! Just finished voting. 4y
Ddzmini I was going to vote... but I haven‘t read several of f these books 😨😰 I‘m so behind the only categories I could vote on are “Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Ya Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Cert. Author, and Best Work” otherwise done 😋📚🙌🏽 4y

Do the GoodRead awards DRIVE YOU NUTS because all it seems to be is just name recognition instead of really reading great books. Then you need to NOMINATE books for the #LitsyAwards. This is OUR awards. What have we read this year that we think is just the best.

There are 21 categories. So tell us what you think. Nominations last the month. Voting begins Jan 1.

https://forms.gle/vXWgxV3zGyrmFHQv6

Feel free to share.

ljuliel Sorry, Ryan ! I‘d gladly take part, but I honestly read so few 2019 books this past year, I wouldn‘t be able to add much to your list. I‘d gladly do it if I had read more of them, though. 🙂 4y
Cinfhen Ugh!!!! This list made me SO MAD!!!!! And 4 million votes were cast!!!! What!?!?!?!?! 4y
RainyDayReading I hate the GoodReads one so much!!! It doesn‘t even make any sense and sadly I wasn‘t surprised at the winners because of who they were. 4y
See All 15 Comments
LibrarianRyan @ljuliel add the ones you have read. When added to the group it make for a robust list. The first round is nothing but narrowing all the books (sometimes as many as 30 a category down to a more manageable size. Plus it is a great way to share what others may have missed. 4y
LibrarianRyan @Cinfhen I know. I didn't even like most of the nominations. I want to know who/what/how things are nominated to begins with. The list just sucks. I have read many of them, but i also read so much better. 4y
rrkreads @LibrarianRyan True, Goodreads one seems more like a popularity contest than actual book awards. Plus many books don't seem to be in the right categories? 🤷 4y
RainyDayReading @LibrarianRyan There‘s been a few booktubers I‘ve seen that have read the nominees for a certain category, cast their vote, and then when the results came through they looked at how many ratings/reviews the winners had vs the others. Usually the more ratings (or the more we‘ll known the name) the better the chance they‘ll win. Was really interesting watching them break it down. Doesn‘t make me dislike it any less though 😪 4y
TheBookStacker I submitted a few picks hope they get chosen because I wasn‘t enamored with the goodreads choices or winners 4y
LibrarianRyan @TheBookStacker I will say last year when I saw Prince and the dressmaker wasn‘t nominated, I and several others nominated it and it ended up winning. 4y
Hooked_on_books I was annoyed with many of these winners. The only one I‘m truly happy to see is Recursion, which I thought was terrific and voted for. The rest? 😡 4y
jb72 Many of the books on the GR choice awards I haven‘t read so I rarely vote. 4y
TheLudicReader I agree. I never know half of the GRs nominations. 😕 4y
MrBook @Hooked_on_books , yes! Agree! 😁🙌🏻 4y
