Now that awards season is upon us, we’ve been receiving a great deal of good news for our JABberwocky authors!

Five JABberwocky authors appeared on Buzzfeed’s recent “32 Best Fantasy Books of 2015″ list! Buzzfeed highlighted Silvia Moreno-Garcia‘s SIGNAL TO NOISE, calling it a “charming debut”; Daniel José Older‘s HALF-RESURRECTION BLUES, the “engaging beginning to a promising new series”; Brandon Sanderson’s SHADOWS OF SELF, full of “excitement, adventure, and magic”; Peter V. Brett‘s “endlessly fascinating and increasingly complex” THE SKULL THRONE; and Michael J. Sullivan‘s “fast-paced and entertaining” THE DEATH OF DULGATH.

Tor.com released their Reviewer’s Choice list for the Best Books of 2015. “The G” chose Silvia Moreno-Garcia‘s SIGNAL TO NOISE as one of their favorites, saying: “It’s premised on the notion of magic that’s activated by music, which—as a music obsessive—really struck a chord with me (sorry—I couldn’t help myself there). But, like many of the best novels, it’s really about growing up, and dealing with the fallout from how that transpires. Moreno-Garcia is a wonderful writer, and I look forward to reading her next novel.”
