Honey and Leon Take the High Road | Alan Cumming

pick

I did read a lot of Picture Books this year. Most we're Free Amazon Prime First Reads. None compare to my favorite Honey and Leon series.🐾

the mermaid's voice returns in this one | Amanda Lovelace, ladybookmad

Categories I didn't vote in because I hadn't read anything. Will try and read Nominee or Winner in everything but Horror. It's just not my genre. 😱

CoverToCoverGirl I agree - I neither read or watch horror ... too scary. 🙈 1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CoverToCoverGirl just don't need that in my head. 1mo

This Is How You Lose the Time War | Amal El-Mohtar

I normally don't vote in the #GoodreadsChoiceAwards, because I usually haven't read more than one or two of the nominees. This year the only one I've read is This Is How You Lose the Time War, but I loved it so much that I'll probably make an exception and vote for it.

And while I'm at it, maybe throw in some write-in votes for things I loved in other categories.

Clwojick I agree wholeheartedly! I read A LOT, and have only read one of the books on this years list. I won‘t be voting either... 1mo

The Goodreads Killer: The Trilogy | Dave Franklin

Voting for the #GoodreadsChoiceAwards is open now. I‘m disappointed again by the nominated books. They are so middle of the road, so predictable and uninspired. I know it‘s based on added and reviewed books on the platform itself, so I shouldn‘t be surprised, yet I do think these Awards do add nothing to what we already know without voting. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Kalalalatja I feel you. I haven‘t even looked at the nominated books yet, and I already know, I won‘t be surprised.. 1mo

Cinfhen I agree; these awards are usually uninspiring!!! I haven‘t looked but I guarantee Testaments and Crawdad‘s are going to win 🙄 1mo

Cinfhen I guess Crawdad‘s was on the list last year🤷🏼‍♀️did it win??? 1mo

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen It must have been on the list last year, it‘s one of those predictable nominees indeed. Give me the #ToB longlist over this one any time! 💕 (edited) 1mo

LeahBergen These lists are always so “meh” for me, too. 😐 1mo

Reggie What‘s a book you would like to see win some award? 1mo

BarbaraBB @Reggie I‘m not sure if they were all published in this timeframe but I loved

The House of Broken Angels

1mo

BarbaraBB @Reggie

Lost Children Archive

1mo

BarbaraBB @Reggie

The Golden State: A Novel

1mo

BarbaraBB @Reggie

Turbulence

1mo

BarbaraBB To name a few! 1mo

Reggie I haven‘t read any of them, booooo, I‘ll have to change that. 1mo

Birdsong28 You can add your own suggestion 1mo

batsy Agreed! Because it's based on GR data it'll inevitably be the most hyped books that end up there. 1mo

Ms_T Litsy should do a Best Books of 2019, the list would contain a much greater variety of literature. 1mo

Amiable I agree. I‘m usually uninspired by the choices. 1mo

BarbaraBB @Ms_T Litsy does! I think it‘s organized by @LibrarianRyan (edited) 1mo

LibrarianRyan @BarbaraBB @Ms_T yep. Nominations for the #LitsyAwards will start Dec 1. I have the form ready and everything. Click through the hashtag to see the last two years worth of awards. 1mo

Ms_T @LibrarianRyan @BarbaraBB Great, I‘ll check it out! 1mo

MicheleinPhilly I completely agree. These “awards” are just silly. I have this list bookmarked as they update it every month. It‘s fantastic: https://www.realsimple.com/work-life/entertainment/best-books-2019 1mo

BarbaraBB @MicheleinPhilly Wow, that is a fantastic site. I know what I‘m gonna go tonight 😎😜 1mo

lele1432 Yeah, I'm writing in a YA book I'm almost finished with that's not listed sadly, due to not enough hype, but it's fantastic! I'm excited for the #LitsyAwards!

Dear Haiti, Love Alaine

1mo

BarbaraBB @lele1432 That one sounds good! I do have a weak spot for everything related to Haïti ?? 1mo

BarbaraBB @LibrarianRyan Thanks! Looking forward to it! 1mo

lele1432 I thought it was so good! I hadn't read anything related to Haiti before. 😊 1mo

TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 I totally know the feeling sweetie. Life seems to be moving at light speed right now and I'm just running like a chicken with its head cut off trying to keep up 🤪 13mo

Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid Can certainly relate to that. 13mo

Jee_HookedOnBookz @Andrew65 whaaaaat?! Omg that's just crazy! 13mo

ephemeralwaltz @Andrew65 take care! 13mo

SleepyDragon I'd only read one, so I voted for it. 13mo

Andrew65 @Jee_HookedOnBookz @ephemeralwaltz Thanks, has been a very intense start to the half-term, although have to say not too unusual. 13mo

The Best of the Best: 20 Years of the Year's Best Science Fiction | Gardner Dozois

The #goodreadschoiceawards are here. Do you vote in them? If you do, what‘s your policy on which categories to vote in?
I won‘t vote in a category unless I have read at least 2 of the books (and can thus compare) or if the one book I‘ve read is an absolute standout.
I‘m surprised at how few favorites I have read this year.

TrishB Pretty much the same and I was surprised how few I‘d read too! 13mo

RedxoHearts I always love their awards and seeing what is chosen. It is dangerous though everytime I find so many new to me books to add to my neverending TBR 🤣 13mo
