Announcing the Winners of the 2017 Goodreads Choice Awards

More than 3.8 million votes have been cast and counted in the 9th annual Goodreads Choice Awards honoring the year's best books decided by you, the readers!



Now it's time to celebrate some fantastic reading across 20 categories, representing 400 books between the winners and the finalists. And, of course, it's time for some very talented authors to celebrate their wins!




We asked the winners of the 2017 Goodreads Choice Awards to share photos of themselves reacting to their victories. For Science Fiction winner Andy Weir, who is on a book tour, that meant making due with a bathroom-mirror selfie and a handwritten note. Colleen Hoover (who is celebrating her third consecutive win in the Romance category) received the good news while she was home sick, but—always a trooper—she rallied for the readers. And, well, some of these just made us laugh!



Be sure to explore all of the winning and nominated books!
