2014 Hugo Award Nominee’s
The 2014 Hugo Award nominee’s are
out. I attended WorldCon last year
so had a chance to nominate books I though should be considered. One I nominated made the final
list. Ancillary Justice by Ann
Leckie was the one that made the final list. The two others I nominated did not. They were The Best of All Possible Worlds
by Karen Lord and To Honor You Called Us by H. Paul Honsinger. I really think that Karen Lord’s book
should have made the cut. To Honor
You Called Us was a long shot but if a Military Science Fiction book was on the
list I thought it should be the one.
There are two I have not read on
the list. I need to read Warbound (I have an ebook copy on my TBR pile) and The Wheel of Time
before I vote. Although I cannot attend I did purchase a
supporting membership at Loncon 3 so I can vote.
