      I’m about 75% of the way Through Kaiju Preservation Society and it’s super fun. I don’t know if it should be award winning but it’s worth a read

      Have you read any? I haven’t, but I love adding these lists to my lists and then not remembering anything about them later on.

        I’ve read Kaiju Preservation Society. It’s very entertaining and I’d highly recommend it. I have The Spare Man on my to read list because I liked The Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal. But from the description it sounds more like a murder mystery - IN SPACEEEEEEEEE - than a real sci fi book. The other nominees aren’t traditional science fiction books, either, they’re more fantasy or fantasy/horror.

      I’ve been wanting to read The Kaiju Preservation Society. But only after my R*ddit Bingo is finished.

    I love these lists. They almost always have books that I missed at some point, and the novels are usually pretty good.
