      Some damned fine books on this list, and I’m looking forward to seeing who wins (announced on the 31st of March). I did start trying to narrow down the list to my personal favourites from each category, but honestly I just couldn’t do it. Best of luck to all of the nominees (but probably especially the Locke & Key posse).
