It’s cool seeing that Martha Wells is getting a reissue of one of their earlier novels - I’ve read the Murderbot series and have been curious about their other works.
I learned a few years back that the Hugo Award that you see on the cover of some books is actually a very different kind of award than most.
Works are nominated and voted on by people like you and me. In fact, right now you can go become a voting member of the Hugo Awards and have a say on who wins each category this year. I’ve really enjoyed reading the nominated works and casting my vote for the past several years.
It’s a great way to discover novels and shorter form stories that you may not have otherwise known about.
Special shout out to Catherynne M. Valente for writing something I love almost every year!
I’ve been consistently using the Hugo Award to discover new books and I’ve never been disappointed! (Obviously, I select the books that appeal to me the most, but it’s a really good track record )
I’ve been looking for some kind of alternative to io9 over the years and this looks perfect! Not as exhaustive as their list but theirs is also monthly vs. this one appears to be twice a month (September is here)
Since I already skimmed through the io9 one, a few of these were already on my radar to check out this month. Androne, The Circumference of the World, and City of Bones all were interesting to me off this list.
I’m also excited to see Gundog is getting a proper release. I loved listening to the podcast version last year. It felt just like a chapter a week of an exciting mecha audiobook.
