By far the best award list we’ve had this year! (IMO, of course.) I’m so glad to see my two favorite novels of 2015–The Thing Itself and Galapagos Regained–finally get some award recognition.
It certainly helps when you have more than double the usual noms.
The Thing Itself is among the best books I ever read. And I am finishing Aurora, which is great book. Most of these books are on my toread soon list. Best award list for me too
