The New York Times has released its100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2020. I read about a third of the way through before giving up in disgust. Should I have continued?

There are at least one which qualifies as Romance, Mystery, and Horror. Several I'd classify as Historicals. But nothing I'd classify as Fantasy or Science Fiction. Someone, please, tell me I'm wrong & give me a link to the items!
Meanwhile Goodreads has published what might serve as a guide to the strange and futuristic: the Goodreads Choice Awards final round nominees. Here they are for Fantasy and Science Fiction.

For what it's worth (nothing!) none of the picks of the Goodreads readers would satisfy me. They strike me as boring boring boring.
So I'll keep on writing the kind of books I want read. The latest of which is the sequel to AMY AND THE STAR RANGERS, which continues with Amelia Earhart as a trainee Star Guardian, an interstellar agent of the Human Interstellar Confederation.
