Goodreads has launched the opening round for their yearly awards for the best books just recently. I skimmed through the categories myself, yet already saw quite mixed reviews about the suggestions for this year’s nominees.
Some categories like poetry and children books were removed (yeah, you can say that children ain’t a target audience for the Goodreads yet this platform always seemed to be well rounded).
Graphic novels is also something that was removed unfortunately. Although these ain’t my cup of tea, I’m almost sure it must be upsetting for a large group of people.
The Goodreads Choice Awards are the Teen Choice Awards for books. It’s a fun thing for people to take part of and vote in, but I wouldn’t take them as reflective of quality in any way. There are a boat load of proper book awards out there that are well regarded if you want to try and find good books.
