This list is compiled from the Best Novel Awards nominees for 2015. Controversy notwithstanding, I wanted to give myself a survey of some of the modern Sci-Fi on offer. Awards lists currently represented below include: Arthur C. Clarke Awards (#1-6); British SF Association Awards (#3, 5, 7-12); Nebula Awards (#7, 13-17); Hugo Awards (#7, 15-16, 18-20); and Aurealis Awards (Australian SF) (#21-26). Still to come: Aurora Awards (Canadian SF).
I have created a couple of lists to keep track of my progress as well:
