Cybils Fantasy and Science Fiction Nominations

The final tally of nominations in the fantasy and science fiction category is 88 books. Here is the complete list, along with links to reviews that have been written by the fantasy and science fiction nominating and judging committee members since the beginning of the Cybils. Reviews should not be taken as an indication of how committee members will vote on a book.

This list would make a great gift guide for holiday presents for a young fantasy and science fiction fan, or just a good reading list if you're looking for some of the best genre books of the year.

That's some list, Sheila! Congratulations on getting it finalized.

Thanks, Jen. I was inspired to add the reviews when I saw your list. :-) I thought it was a great idea to do it that way.

Michele said...

What, no link to my review of The Eye Pocket - is that because the review's so negative ?

Unknown said...

Actually, although I updated it on December 21, I only included reviews up through December 17, and I think your review of The Eye Pocket was after that. I'll catch that review when I post my weekly update tomorrow (I hope - if Christmas activities don't prevent me) and then I'll add those reviews to the full list.

Oh right, OK ! Thanks...
