[sophia_sol]

Hugo nominations deadline is tomorrow, so it's time to call it on "books I can read before nominations are over to decide if I want to nominate them" I think. Here's what I'm nominating! What do you think? Is there anything I missed that I really ought to go back in and add last minute?

What a year for novels, is all I have to say!

[sophia_sol]

YES!!! A truly amazing crop. And I didn't even notice until after I nominated that every single novel I put down is explicitly queer! I hope a goodly number of what I nominated end up on the final list, and if She Who Became the Sun isn't on there I might riot

[chestnut_pod]

There's no way it won't make the shortlist, and I'll go on record that I think my hopes for its victory are well-founded!

[sophia_sol]

let it be so!!!!!! I am still blown away by just how good that book is

[chestnut_pod]

I did just see that it's on the list for a Lambda Lit Award in Transgender Fiction!
