Pyrite Time Is Here Again!
Yes, you read that right: It’s Pyrite time! In case this is your first rodeo: The Pyrite is Someday’s Mock Printz. Instead of gold, we award fool’s gold — because mock/fool, right? (Puns may be the lowest form of humor to some, but I never met one I didn’t like.) We have no affiliation with […]
Pyrite: Here We Go Again…
You asked, so we’re going for it! Let’s take one last crack at the honor vote because we’re clearly a Pyrite committee that needs help to make up its mind.

Pyrite Time! Whoo!
It’s Pyrite time! Did you think we weren’t doing it this year? Nah, we just wanted to wait until we’d covered as much as possible of the year’s best. Voting will happen in the comments. We’ll be doing our best to adhere to the RealPrintz voting procedures, as follows: Any officially nominated book is eligible; […]
Pyrite: Fun with numbers!
I have to say, running the Pyrite this early in the new year is weird. That being said, many of you took a few moments during the last days of 2015 to vote for the books you think deserve a (fake) honor. As we’ve seen in the past, there’s not a lot of surprise in this […]
