Recommended Reading: SFWA Nebula Suggested Reading List

For what I understand is the first time ever, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) has made its Nebula Suggested Reading List publicly available. The list is compiled from SFWA member suggestions made throughout the year, and there are separate lists for novels, novellas, novelettes, short stories, and dramatic works.

The list of novels, including the number of suggestions/nominations in parentheses (as of the date I looked at it; this will change as more nominations come in), with an asterisk denoting self-published and indie-published novels, is:

There were another 37 that received a single nomination.

An interesting list for a couple of reasons. First, both Seveneves (6 nominations) and The Water Knife (5) received a significant number of nominations, but were unable to crack the Barnes and Noble top 25 leading me to further doubt the sense of that list maker. Second, two self-published and one indie-published book received multiple nominations.
