This is my first year realizing how much people dislike GR awards haha I voted for ones I read and truly loved! Im over here wishing The Book of Doors won for something 😂 I Capture the Castle has been on my want to read list for awhile and I think after reading this it will happen in 2025! Anita De Monte on audio… BRILLIANT!!!
Goodreads is a real love/hate thing. I'm fascinated by the dynamic because it's always very as expected. I love when people have strong opinions about books, it means they feel something, but the GR awards process, while fun to participate in, is predictable in the extreme IMO! I Capture the Castle would make an excellent late winter/spring read, I think!
This is my first year voting on Goodreads! And I did question how they determine the winners. I do agree ‘it is a popularity contest’, just like every election and competition, it’s all about popularity. And of course people will vote for books that they’ve read, I also vote for the books I’ve read. But it is important that people don’t vote for books that are popular but the books that they truly understand and enjoy.
I voted for Play Along by Liz Tomforde and it didn’t win. I think awards are not that important but it is crucial to give recognition to authors who do read good books, not books that are ‘just’ popular!
