For the authors of these books, we have award buttons! The graphics are made by Loretta @ Laughing Listener and are free to display for the authors however they wish. I’ve linked the images above to their respective posts. Congratulations to all 395 books of 2019!
I created a spreadsheet with all of the finalists (click the titles to be taken to the Goodreads page for the book) that you can see below.
Voting Rules
After much consideration and consulting with my patrons, I’ve decided that there will be a total of three voting rounds. This was the final of three voting rounds.
1) The top 4 books in each category have moved on to the finals round. Some categories have more options due to ties.
2) You are able to vote for one book in each subcategory.
3) You do not need to vote in every category.
4) Voting on books you have read is preferred.
5) Every award category has two subcategories: Adult and Young Adult.
6) The voting form closes at 23:59 on December 29, 2019.
The winners for the 2019 Bookish Reader’s Choice Awards have been announced, check out this post to see which of these books won in each category!
