It is fun to participate, but the list of the best and most popular Science Fiction and Fantasy of the last 10 years will keep you full of info for updated displays, lists, and suggestions for years to come!
The Summer Reader Poll Returns: Tell Us Your Favorite New Sci-Fi And Fantasy Books
Ten years is a long time! In 10 light-years, you could get from Earth to a whole new solar system, Epsilon Eridani. And in the past 10 years, science fiction and fantasy have undergone a revolution — new voices, new perspectives, and new stories, bright as stars in the night sky.
So we thought it would be a great time to revisit our original 2011 reader poll of favorite science fiction and fantasy. And not just because of all the fantastic new stuff that's come out in the past decade, but because that 2011 list has some, uhhh, notable holes in it (Octavia Butler, I am SO sorry).
We're doing things a little bit differently this year since we already know you guys love The Lord of the Rings. Instead of a grand survey of all of time and space, we're zeroing in on titles from the past 10 years — that is, anything that's come out since the 2011 poll. And since we're only looking at the past decade, our panel of expert judges will take your nominations and use them to curate a final list of 50 titles (rather than our usual 100).
