Sidewise Awards

One of the awards announced at the Renovation worldcon taking place this weekend are the Sidewise Awards. I am a big fan of historical fiction, including alternative history, so these awards appeal to me, and often suggest some good reading for me as well.

For those of you who enjoy alt hist as much as I do, here is a listing of all the winners of the Sidewise Award. Happy reading!
