Winners of the 2023 Goodreads Choice Awards

After nearly six million votes, the winners have been announced for the 2023 Goodreads Choice Awards.

The winner by a large margin in the Best Fiction category was Yellowface by R.F. Kuang, and it is not at all surprising. Though I may not have voted for it, this book deserves all of the attention it has gotten. And T.J. Klune's In the Lives of Puppets took home the prize for Best Science Fiction, which is also well-deserved. And finally, Matthew Desmond's Poverty, by America received the most votes and was crowned the winner in the Best Nonfiction category. 

So all in all, three DSNs were voted #1 in their respective categories. Personally, I am always pleased when any DSN is nominated, much less if one of them wins. But this has once again been an interesting year in the Goodreads Choice Awards, and I am sure there will be more surprises ahead in 2024.
