Goodreads Choice Awards 2020 Semifinal Round

The voting in the semifinal round of the 2020 Goodreads Choice Awards has officially begun. Time to see which books have been written into your favorite categories, and more specifically, if those new entries will prove to be gamechangers in the finals.

Only one category has had a DSN added to the nominees, adding it to the 19 other books that have been in it since the beginning.

 It looks like Hank Green (brother of young adult writer John Green) and his A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor have earned enough write-in votes to be considered in the Best Science Fiction category. Same thing happened in 2018 for his previous novel, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, though it did not result in a win. I will be sticking with my previous vote for The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez.

This second round of voting will remain open through Sunday, November 15, with the all-important final round beginning Tuesday, November 17. Remember, the votes in this semifinal round will decide which books will be in the top ten in each category for the finals. So let's start voting.
