Hugo Awards

The Hugo Awards are given annually for the best works of science fiction or fantasy published in the United States, as chosen by the members of the World Science Fiction Convention. This collection includes all the winners in the Best Novel category.

The award for a given year is for a book first published in the previous year, generally speaking. The books below are sorted by first publication year (e.g. 2010s has books first published in 2009 to 2018), but occasional idiosyncrasies in the rules may result in a book appearing in the wrong decade. The biggest exception is The Three-Body Problem, which was originally published in 2008, but won the 2015 award, because it was first published in English in 2014.

Since 1996, Retrospective Hugo Awards ("Retro-Hugos") are sometimes awarded for works published 50, 75, or 100 years prior, for years in which no awards were originally given.

Note: If a book says it is "not in library," it might still be available! Click on the book's cover to see more options. There might be one of the editions that you can borrow.
