I'm about 75% of the way Through Kaiju Preservation Society and it's super fun. I don't know if it should be award winning but it's worth a read

Have you read any? I haven't, but I love adding these lists to my lists and then not remembering anything about them later on.

I've read Kaiju Preservation Society. It's very entertaining and I'd highly recommend it. I have The Spare Man on my to read list because I liked The Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal. But from the description it sounds more like a murder mystery - IN SPACEEEEEEEEE - than a real sci fi book. The other nominees aren't traditional science fiction books, either, they're more fantasy or fantasy/horror.

No I haven't. But I have Kaiju and the first book in Tamsyn Muir's series already on my list.

I've been wanting to read The Kaiju Preservation Society. But only after my R*ddit Bingo is finished.

Nona the ninth was quite a slog to get through. The first book was the best in that series.

The Kaiju Oreservation Society is in my queue. Eager to get to it. Sounds interesting.
