I thought it would be a fun idea to check out all the nominees for this year's Goodreads Choice Awards and see how many of them are (or have been) on my TBR! This is also good preparation for next year because I'll probably do another "read what readers picked last year" challenge 😄

I'll focus primarily on Young Adult releases, although I did sneak a peek at the adult sci-fi section and might add a few of those to my TBR as well!

I'm happy to report that I already had a lot of these on my TBR and actually finished two! The rest are mostly contemporary romances that I'm not that into. Besides those, I might check out I Don't Wish You Well and The House of Gardenias!

Also, I had no idea the Truly, Devious series was still going on lol

 Once again, I'm sad to report that the "fantasy and sci-fi" section is mostly fantasy. When looking at this list, you have basically only two "just sci-fi" novels Release Me and The Sixth Faction - which is kinda depressing because those are 2 already well-known and established series. I have no desire to read Divergent again and I gave up on the Shatter Me world after reading book 6 and being severely disappointed so yeah...

Other than those two, we have Storm Breaker, which is a dystopian fantasy combo, and What Feeds Bellow, which is also a sci-fi fantasy combo. I added the latter one to my TBR just now so that's why it's not marked above lol. Look, I have nothing against these genre combinations, but I can't say I don't miss having new purely sci-fi novels. Maybe after "revisiting" those 2 popular dystopian worlds, we're gonna see a surge in the genre next year 😄
