Location: Middle TN, USA		Ok I have a small dilemma. I finished The Girl With All The Gifts which met the Unloved criteria, but on April 8th it was nominated for 2015 Clarke. So should I take it off my unloved list and replace it?? I read tons of crap, so I'm sure I have another unloved out there somewhere in my reading lists.

I had that problem last year with the Second Best Challenge. I replaced it. I've been holding off on putting some of the 2014 books on the Unloved Challenge until the award nominations are done.

I figured I'd have the same problem with the Martian but I guess it's not eligible for any (so far).

Location: SC, USA		I had added Emma Bull's War of the Oaks for Second Best and then figured out today that it is ineligible because it won the Locus First Novel Award that was only recently added to WWE.

Location: New Zealand		And anyone who picked The Martian for this challenge might have to pick again, it's a nominee in the recently announced John W Campbell awards.

Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		I took all the genre books from my library wish list and put them on my WWEnd Reading List. 16 books. None of them are unloved. I haven't been paying any attention to whether or not a book fits any of my challenges. Looks like I'm going to have to make a an effort to find unlisted books so I can complete this challenge

Location: Middle TN, USA		I finished (finally)
The Unloved I loved for this challenge were as followed:
Dust Land: Blood Red Road - Moira Young
The Culled - Simon Spurrier
The Death Cure - James Dashner
Exit Kingdom - Alden Bell
Hollow City - Ransom Riggs
Infected - Scott Sigler
Insurgent - Veronica Roth
The Last Policeman - Ben Winters
The Eternal Night - Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan
Night Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko
Partials - Dan Wells
The Unscratchables - Cornelius Kane

I really enjoyed this challenge because I read several far from "award winning" novels each year and at least here I can give them a little respect.
