Anno Dracula — 5 years ago

To match the source, I switched to Anno Dracula (#48) from
Judgment of Tears:: Anno Dracula 1959, which is a sequel.

The Amber Spyglass added at 30

Watership Down added at 40

A few order changes.

Briar Rose and The Curse of Chalion Rose dropped to positions 51 and 52, and thus off the list.

Because of Award Annals changing their system I re-ordered the books and because of the gigantic pain it is to make changes I got rid of the ones above 50. If anyone else wants to help keep it updated or add more after 50 go for it. Otherwise the list will probably stay how it is for a while. It’s a good list and all collections of awards are pretty tenuous anyway, so at least for me constant updating would end up a little excessive.
