Looks like a cool idea, but I can't find my authors in there.

Ah gotcha, which ones are you looking for?

So far, we only have ~5,000 votes for ~15,000 books over 2023 to 2025. We are still small but growing fast. Any chance you would share your 3 favorites this year and help us grow?

We are working on doing this on a much bigger scale and building a beta now too.

I looked for Glen Cook[0], who is a well-known SF author for decades (and is still writing).

  Nice, Black Company :)
  Sorry, nobody has picked one of his books as one of their 3 favorite reads of the year yet. We only have ~15,000 votes so far, but as we get more, that number will increase. We are working to improve this in 2026 as we grow.
  We do have this if you want to see books like Glen Cook's:

one of my perpetual quests is more books like "dreamsnake", so I was definitely disappointed not to see it in there (it's an older book, but it did win both the hugo and the nebula)

  Yep we haven't gotten that one in our DB from anyone yet, eventually we will bring more books in as we grow :)
  Right now the only way in is if someone picks it as a favorite.
