Even if I'm not interested in every book nominated, I always look forward to the announcement of the books nominated for the Booksellers Award because they are chosen not by a panel of judges looking for "literary merit" (which of course has its place too), but by bookstore staff, who vote for the books they enjoyed the most and recommend to others.
