2017 Eligibility

Books published in the United States in English, including works in translation and other significant rereleases, between November 16, 2016, and November 15, 2017, are eligible for the 2017 Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Choice Awards. Books published between November 16, 2017, and November 15, 2018, will be eligible for the 2018 awards.

We analyze statistics from the millions of books added, rated, and reviewed on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ to nominate 15 books in each category. Opening round official nominees must have an average rating of 3.50 or higher at the time of launch. Write-in votes may be cast for eligible books with any average rating, and write-in votes will be weighted by the book's Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ statistics to determine the top five books to be added as official nominees in the Semifinal Round. A book may be nominated in no more than one genre category, but can also be nominated in the Debut Novel category. Only one book in a series may be nominated per category. An author may receive multiple nominations within a single category if he or she has more than one eligible series or more than one eligible stand-alone book.
