Trashcanman Man, I've only read one book published this year. What gives. This makes me feel like a ⬛ 5y
LibrarianRyan @Trashcanman naaaa it seems true book lovers are that way. Only casual readers seem to read a lot of current books. No one with scarfs of TBRs 5y
callielafleur I was so excited to nominate a book and then I realized it was released almost 10 years ago. 😂😂 5y

It‘s time to nominate books for the 2nd annual Litsy Awards. Please see the link to the form below.

🤔I will have to look over my list of books read this year. I‘m afraid not many were 2018.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BX_WzjH6A8rbzBFxsc8bTUd8ZF3TifcTKoe6iXvsYpQ/vie...

LibrarianRyan I think I could only fill in 6 or 7 categories out of 17 (the other three are not book specific). And most of them were for kids titles. 5y
Bklover I‘m so glad there are Litsy awards! 5y
jessinikkip @Bookzombie @LibrarianRyan related question since it asks about Litsy authors - how do you go in the Litsy database and tell it "hey, I wrote that book"? It would be nice to have my book tied to my name like on GR... 5y

JillR I‘m the same, I‘ve read lots of goods books this year but not sure any are 2018! 5y
LibrarianRyan @jessinikkip shake your device and and get the contact us screen. Let them know you are the author of your book. There will be questions. I do t don‘t how long it will take. Contact us has taken longer since LT took over. bTW. What is your book so I can add it to the Author list I keep. 5y
Bookzombie @Bklover Yes, they are so fun! 5y
Bookzombie @jessinikkip I think @LibrarianRyan is right. I‘m going to tag @TimSpalding and see if he has more to add about your question. 5y
jessinikkip Thank you! So far it has my book Relearning to Fly on here. I am working on doing a second version, more updated now that I am older and have learned more about writing, but I thought it would be nice to still have the old one tagged as mine. I will try that shaking thing that @LibrarianRyan suggested 5y

Jess7 @LibrarianRyan - I wish you had a debut author category! 5y
LibrarianRyan Yeahhh. Thank you. 5y
LibrarianRyan @Jess7 didn‘t think of it, and no one suggested it at the end of summer. I will plan on it for next year. 5y
RebL That was easy in some ways and harder in others. It‘s kinda revealing of our own reading bias. 5y

BeansPage Oooooo! So exciting!!! 5y
Gissy I just included some books. I'm a slow reader and very behind new releases reas😟 5y
LibrarianRyan @Gissy never feel bad for what you read. I have the same problem. The Litsy awards were started because the GR awards seems to be more on name recognition than actual readings. 5y

Lizpixie Best coffee-table book📙 6y
LibrarianRyan @Lizpixie good idea. 6y
CSeydel What about a couple more nonfiction categories? Middle grade NF, History, Science, Biography? 6y
See All 14 Comments
LibrarianRyan @CSeydel biography. That was the one I couldn‘t remember! Thanks. I‘ll take it all under consideration. 6y
CSeydel Thanks! 6y
KathyWheeler What about memoir/autobiography, or would you put those with biography? 6y
LibrarianRyan @KathyWheeler don‘t know yet. I think I have to see how many categories are suggested before I come up with a final number. 6y
RaimeyGallant Mystery/thriller: maybe add suspense to this, because not all suspense are mystery/thriller. Or you could just call it crime fiction. 6y
RaimeyGallant Also, instead of calling it fantasy/sci-fi, which are only two subsets of speculative fiction that also includes dystopian and magical realism and more, maybe just call those categories speculative fiction? :) 6y
RaimeyGallant I also like it when there are categories for #ownvoices: best LGBTQ and best book by an author of color. Of course these authors deserve to win in the general categories as well, but I think it's important they have as many opportunities as possible. 6y
RaimeyGallant Lastly, I'm not sure if this is right, but it seems to me the graphic novels for an older audience are targeted at both YA and adult, so I might lump them together as YA/adult graphic novel...not sure if that makes sense to you, though... 6y
RaimeyGallant Maybe memoir, too? 6y
RaimeyGallant Or maybe memoir can just fit in with non-fic. 6y
Bindrosbookshelf I think having a non-fiction general type category and a separate memoir/biography type category would be good 6y
