The 2018 BookBrowse Award Winners
BookBrowse rounded off another year of recommending the best contemporary fiction and nonfiction with its annual awards.
The Award Winners are:
Best Fiction Book: Circe by Madeline Miller
Best Debut Book: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
Best Nonfiction Book: Educated by Tara Westover
Best Young Adult Book: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
BookBrowse's annual Best of the Year awards are an excellent barometer of great reading, and are particularly noteworthy for two reasons. Firstly, because voting is only open to BookBrowse subscribers - so, unlike other popular awards, there is no vote stuffing by rabid fan bases. Secondly, instead of just voting for a book (which favors the most widely read books) subscribers rate each book they've read that is on the shortlist, and the winners are the books with the highest overall rating. Each year we pick the Top 20 Books; and from these we pick our four Award Winners. Read about BookBrowse's award process.
