Can you name a few popular books from 2018 book awards fiction?

Sure, 'The Goldfinch' is one.

One of the great books from 2017 fiction awards could be 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead. It's a powerful novel that reimagines the Underground Railroad as a literal railroad underground. The story follows Cora, a slave, on her journey to freedom. It's not only a story of escape but also a deep exploration of the horrors of slavery and the strength of the human spirit.

The Women's Prize for Fiction in 2019 was another. It specifically focuses on works by female authors. Tayari Jones' 'An American Marriage' was among the notable works recognized in that award cycle.

I'm not sure about all the nominees, but often the authors in this category are those who have been working hard on their craft for a while. They might be emerging voices or established authors. It could be that there were some independent or small - press authors among the nominees as well, who brought unique stories and writing styles to the table.

One more is 'All the Light We Cannot See'. It was loved for its lyrical prose and the way it showed the different sides of the war. The characters were very well - developed and the story was both heart - breaking and heart - warming at the same time.

One that comes to mind is 'Little Fires Everywhere' by Celeste Ng. It's set in a small town and revolves around a custody battle and the secrets that are unearthed in the process. The characters are well - drawn and the story is full of twists and turns that keep you hooked from start to finish.

The Aurealis Awards in Australia also have categories that can include children's science - fiction works. These awards celebrate the best in Australian speculative fiction across different categories, and the works for children are an important part of that. They encourage creativity and innovation in writing science - fiction stories for the younger audience.

The John W. Campbell Memorial Award is another one. It is given for the best science fiction novel. It honors John W. Campbell, an important figure in the history of science fiction.

Sure. One of the books could be 'The Vanishing Half'. It tells a story about twin sisters who choose very different paths in life. The story delves into themes of race, identity, and family. Another might be 'Hamnet', which offers a fictionalized account of Shakespeare's family life, especially focusing on the relationship with his son Hamnet.

Sure, 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney is a great one. It follows the relationship between two Irish teenagers as they grow up and deal with class differences, love, and self - discovery.
