I don't pay attention to all of the book awards, but I do watch for the Pulitzers, the Man Booker Prize, and the National Book Awards. I also pay close attention to the Ohioana Book Awards which, as thename suggests, celebrates authors from the state of Ohio. With so many great authors being from Ohio (Dan Chaon and Toni Morrison are two of my personal favorites) it's no wonder why these awards are popular. Here are this years finalists for fiction and non-fiction:Fiction
Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

The Devil All the Time by Ronald Ray Pollock
Doc: A Novel by Mary Doria Russell
