RITA noms are up on the
RWA site (list should be complete at 2pm Central time).
I haven't read many of the contemp books nominated. Nice to see Julie Miller, Merline Lovelace, Jill Shlavis, and others get nominated. There are lots of books I personally would have liked to see that aren't on the list, but that's the same every year
Looks to be a good mix of traditional, digital-first, and self-pubbed. And at least 3 m/m books got nominated as well. So the new rules/procedures seem to have worked.
