The Hugo finalists have been announced! I did actually get a membership this year so I could nominate and vote and two of mine made it to the list for best novel. :D
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty (Harper Voyager, Harper Voyager UK)
The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera (Tordotcom)
Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh (Tordotcom, Orbit UK)
Starter Villain by John Scalzi (Tor, Tor UK)
Translation State by Ann Leckie (Orbit US, Orbit UK)
Witch King by Martha Wells (Tordotcom)
I haven't read The Saint of Bright Doors, Starter Villain, or Translation State yet. I did try listening to Witch King but it wasn't holding my attention... But anyhow, guess I better give it another go, as well as the others! But I'm especially excited for all the shorter form fiction. Lately I've been getting back into short stories a lot more. :D I haven't read any of the nominated short stories or novelettes (and I've read two of the novellas).
