Lists
One thing Chaos Horizon strives to do is find various measures (metrics) of a book’s popularity, critical reception, reader reception, and sales. These are hard to come by on the internet, so I’ll be gathering my various resources here on this page. Right now, I use:
A 2016 Awards Meta-List . . . that compiles all the major SFF awards.
A “Best of 2015” Meta-List by Mainstream outlets . . . to measure mainstream critical reception.
A “Best of 2015” Meta-List by SFF outlets . . . to measure SFF critical reception.
Monthly Goodreads and Amazon review numbers . . . to track popularity.
The Goodreads “2016 Hugo Eligible” list . . . to keep track of one popular vote.
The SFWA “2015 Nebula Recommendations” list . . . to keep track of the Nebula front-runners.
Previous Year’s Lists:
A “Best of 2014” Meta-List by Mainstream outlets . . . to measure mainstream critical reception.
A “Best of 2014” Meta-List by SFF websites . . . to measure SFF critical reception.
The 2015 Awards Meta-List, a collation of 15 major SFF awards . . . to measure awards reception.
