We’re going to be converting this award from a March-May sequence of lists and posts to something that runs all year round, and ensures that all different areas of the globe receive a fair amount of attention.We’ll be unveiling the rules for the 2022 BTBA in a few months, but one thing that’s worth noting here is that ALL books from 2020 and 2021 will be eligible. So all the pandemic books will still have a shot at glory in the new & improved 2022 BTBA.
