SF Site’s 2006 Reader’s Choice
SF site has, once again, initiated its Reader’s Choice Book of the Year Award contest. Rules and eligibility are spelled out. Deadline for voting is 9 February 2007. You can submit a list of as much as 10 books.
Here are some of the past winners:
- 1998: Smoke and Mirrors, by Neil Gaiman
- 1999: A Clash of Kings, by George R. R. Martin
- 2000: A Storm of Swords, by George R. R. Martin
- 2001: The Curse of Chalion, by Lois McMaster Bujold
- 2002: House of Chains, by Steven Erikson
- 2003: Ilium, by Dan Simmons
- 2004: Midnight Tides, by Steven Erikson
- 2005: Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman
The Reader’s Choice list doesn’t always correspond to what SF Site considers the Best Read of the Year. For instance, in 2005, they preferred The House of Storms, by Ian R. MacLeod, rather than Anansi Boys.
So if you feel it is important to have your say in what is the best speculative fiction books of 2006, go to the site and vote for your favorites.
