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.

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.

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.
I love these lists. They almost always have books that I missed at some point, and the novels are usually pretty good.
Looked at Bloodmarked. Might going to read that.
