As usual, I have crunched the numbers to see the extent to which Goodreads and LibraryThing users have assimilated this year’s Hugo finalists. Each table is ranked by cumulative raters/owners on the two systems, the highest number in each column is bolded. In one category, only four of the six finalists appear on either Goodreads or LibraryThing. Links are to Amazon.co.uk (yes, I know, but commissions from those links are my only reward for writing all this).
