Oh dear, it’s almost Hugo time again

[morgan_dhu]

Dear science fiction and fantasy reading friends... I find that one result of my medical woes this year was that I read much less than usual, and hence I view the rapid approach of the Hugo nominating period with some dismay.

I have the beginnings of short lists in the short fiction categories, but I’m way behind on novels and am almost clueless about related works. If anyone has any suggestions about a novel or sff related work from 2017 that blew tham away, I’d appreciate hearing about it as I really need to do some concentrated Hugo reading over the next month or two. I welcome recs for short fiction too.
