A recent gem is 'Legends & Lattes' by Travis Baldree, which bagged the 2023 Astounding Award. It’s a cozy fantasy about an orc hangin’ up her sword to open a coffee shop, but the 'adventure' lies in rebuilding a life. The stakes are small—supply shortages, quirky regulars—yet Baldree makes them as gripping as any dragon hunt. The book’s charm is its inversion of tropes; instead of loot, the prize is community. It’s the kind of story that lingers, like the smell of fresh pastries. Perfect for readers craving warmth over warfare.

One title that's been buzzing in literary circles is 'The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi' by Shannon Chakraborty. It snagged the 2023 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and honestly, it’s a swashbuckling masterpiece. The book follows a retired pirate captain dragged back into one last heist, blending historical fantasy with a fierce, middle-aged heroine who’s anything but typical. The prose is lush, the maritime lore immersive, and the action sequences crackle like a blockbuster film. I devoured it in two sittings—Chakraborty’s knack for weaving mythology into high-stakes adventure is unmatched.

Another standout is 'Nettle & Bone' by T. Kingfisher, which won the Hugo for Best Novel. This darkly whimsical tale feels like a Grimm fairy tale on steroids, with a princess-turned-nun assembling a ragtag team (including a demonic chicken) to overthrow a prince. Kingfisher’s humor and heart make the macabre elements sing. It’s a reminder that adventure isn’t just about physical quests but emotional ones, too—how far would you go for justice? Both books redefine the genre by centering unconventional heroes.

Let’s talk about 'Babel' by R.F. Kuang, which swept the 2023 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. It’s technically dark academia, but the globetrotting espionage and linguistic magic system make it a cerebral adventure. Kuang’s protagonist, Robin, navigates Oxford’s colonial shadows while smuggling knowledge—a thrilling twist on the 'scholar-as-spy' trope. The footnotes alone are a rabbit hole of historical tidbits, making it feel like an Indiana Jones romp with PhD-level depth. I adore how it critiques empire without sacrificing pacing; every chapter ends with a cliffhanger that’s pure narrative crack.

On the YA front, 'The Stardust Thief' by Chelsea Abdullah won the Middle East Book Award. Inspired by 'One Thousand and One Nights,' it’s a desert caravan heist with jinn, morally gray thieves, and a sapphic subplot that’s subtly woven in. Abdullah’s worldbuilding is tactile—you taste the sandstorms. It’s proof that 'adventure' doesn’t need explosions when you have characters stealing relics under starry skies.

Which good fiction books to read have won awards?

One of the most gripping award-winning books I've ever picked up is 'The Goldfinch' by Donna Tartt. It snagged the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and for good reason—this sprawling coming-of-age story blends tragedy, art theft, and moral ambiguity into something unforgettable. Theo Decker’s journey from a bombed-out museum to the underworld of antiques had me hooked, and Tartt’s prose is so vivid you can practically smell the dust in the abandoned Las Vegas house. Another favorite is 'The Sympathizer' by Viet Thanh Nguyen, which won both the Pulitzer and the Edgar Award. It’s a masterclass in voice, with a Vietnamese double agent narrating his espionage exploits in darkly comic, self-aware prose. The way Nguyen dissects colonialism and identity while keeping the plot razor-sharp is just brilliant. I still think about the protagonist’s conflicted loyalties months later.

Well, awards are a weird thing to navigate right now because the timelines get so blurred, right? I read a lot but I often find out about award winners a year after the fact, which means my 'recent' is probably 2022–2023. A standout for me from that period is Hernan Diaz's 'Trust'. It won the Pulitzer and it’s a puzzle of a novel told through four different manuscripts, which sounds academic but reads like a page-turner about wealth and who gets to tell the truth. I also just finished 'The Rabbit Hutch' by Tess Gunty, which won the National Book Award. It’s set in a run-down apartment building in the Midwest and weaves together the lives of its residents in a way that’s both bleak and surprisingly tender. It’s a specific, character-driven kind of book that might not be for everyone, but the prose is stunning. On the sci-fi front, T. Kingfisher’s 'Nettle & Bone' took home the Hugo for Best Novel last year, and it’s a fantastic, subversive fairy tale. It’s dark, funny, and has a middle-aged nun as a protagonist, which was so refreshing after so many chosen-one teenagers. Award lists can be a mixed bag, but these felt like the wins were deserved, not just industry picks.

I've noticed some standout sci-fi and fantasy books that have been recognized recently. 'The House of Rust' by Khadija Abdalla Bajaber won the inaugural Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for its imaginative storytelling and rich cultural depth. Another remarkable title is 'The World We Make' by N.K. Jemisin, which garnered the Hugo Award for Best Novel, thanks to its brilliant world-building and sharp social commentary. For those who enjoy epic fantasy, 'Babel' by R.F. Kuang took home the Nebula Award for its intricate plot and thought-provoking themes about language and power. 'Nettle & Bone' by T. Kingfisher also made waves by winning the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel, blending dark fairy-tale elements with a fresh narrative voice. These books not only push the boundaries of their genres but also offer readers unforgettable journeys into worlds both strange and familiar.
