(I am not getting the same zing from ascending through the chart this year as I did in 2015, in part because I know I won't be able to outdo Locus' army of reviewers. Oh, well.)
Key: WNB stands for “women and non-binary genders”, while POC stands for “person of colour”. R/R stands for “reviews/reviewers”. Figures in brackets are percentages; for R/R the percentage represents the site’s R/R over my 2015 R/R.
