^* I only started tracking books and the date I read them in January 2008.

¹ The Hugo Award was first presented in 1953 and presented annually since 1955. These books are science fiction’s most prestigious award, voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon), which is also responsible for administering them.

In 1996, books were awarded Retro-Hugos by a convention for years 50, 75, or 100 years earlier in which a Worldcon was held but in which no Hugos were awarded. In 2017, the eligible years were expanded to include years after 1939 in which no Worldcon was held. Of the 15 eligible years, awards were given for 8. But in 2025, the WSFS constitution was amended to remove Retro-Hugos. This is why there are books listed for years before 1955.

² The Nebula Award was first presented in 1965. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) has presented the Nebula Awards to recognize peer-voted excellence in speculative literature, dramatic presentations, and narrative games.
