What next?:
More Hugo reading, obviously.

I have a few YA books to check out - mostly Nebula nominees, since I really don’t follow YA novels except when they get a lot of buzz or are written by authors on my automatic “must read everything they write” list - plus a couple of the other novels nominated for Nebulas that seem interesting.

And I have a lot of short stories and novelettes to read from the various suggestion lists around the Net. The fact that I can pretty much only read those published in online magazines, unless they’re in an original anthology I’ve managed to acquire, makes my task a little easier, but still, there is a lot of great short fiction out there and I’m always behind on my reading.

And there’s some books I want to read for the related works category, too. Time is running out.

And there’s all the other books, too.
