【百道编按】10日，英国爱情小说奖公布了入围名单，共36位作家入围6大奖项，而最终年度最佳爱情小说将在这些候选作品中诞生。在此我们呈现完整入围书目，以飨读者。
日前，英国年度爱情小说奖公布了最终入围名单。该奖项由英国爱情小说作家协会设立，于1960年开始颁发，是难得的交友影响力的爱情类型小说奖项。爱情小说奖自创立以来长期为女性所“垄断”，近些年开始有零星男作者被提名，今年有3位男性作家榜上有名。
浪漫小说奖共分6大奖项，分别是：当代爱情小说（Contemporary Romantic Novel）、史诗爱情小说（Epic Romantic Novel）、历史爱情小说（Historical Romantic Novel）、爱情喜剧（Romantic Comedy Novel）、青年爱情小说（Young Adult Romantic Novel）和爱情小说作家协会玫瑰奖（the RoNA Rose Novel）。其中，RoNA Rose Award设立于2003年，是颁给年度优秀爱情小说集的奖项，要求集子中的单篇小说有相似的风格和篇幅，杂志上的连载小说也可参与角逐这一奖项。
每一奖项都会从6位提名作家中评出最终优胜者，然后再从这些优胜者当中诞生年度最佳爱情小说奖得主。今年各奖项得主将于3月份揭晓。
