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.
Do they just base it off sales from amazon or what’s trending on tiktok at this point?
You can read the rules. It is about number of shelvings (ratings, reviews and people listing as want to read) at cut-off day tied with minimum rating (Which is really low 3.5…)
