What an incredible nomination season this has been.
Seeing readers and authors come together to lift up their favorite stories has been the highlight of my year. Every nomination represented someone’s joy, someone’s escape, someone’s comfort read, or someone’s book they couldn’t stop talking about. Watching that enthusiasm ripple through this community has truly inspired me.

Now that nominations are closed, I’m hard at work behind the scenes preparing the official voting page. My goal is to make it as beautiful and enjoyable as possible — a space where every nominated book gets its moment to shine, covers displayed proudly, and readers can explore all the amazing stories that made this year special.

Thank you again for showing up with so much heart.
I cannot wait to share the full ballot with you.
Voting opens December 15.
