I can't remember--was this predictive, last year?

No, not really - though Among Others was second on both lists among Nebula nominees, it was third on LT, and fifth on GR readers, of the Hugo nominees. These are data points, nothing more.

Oh, the figures were perfectly accurate as to LibraryThing and GoodReads ownership - they just turned out not to be a terribly good predictor of Hugo votes!!!

You were in fact third on LT and fifth on GoodReads. Checking them now, you're still third and fifth, respectively, and the margin with DoD has if anything widened!
