Voters so far: Nirkatze, Monika, Emily, Iain

I am reading The Kaiju Preservation Society soon for my irl book club, likely next week sometime since we are meeting for dinner the 18th.

There are others I would be interested in reading depending on timing and others that are not so much for me.

Copying over my post from planning:

I didn't expect to have read so many... I've read 4 of the novels and 4 of the novellas... if the newest Wayward Children book had been nominated, I'd vote for that... instead it seems to be last year's book... so I'm leaning towards Riverlands there, I think...

I'm the same, and haven't read Rivers of London... I read the first one awhile ago and never continued... wasn't really sucked in...

I kinda wish the Series category did trilogies separately... I want to vote October Daye out of series love, but I feel like it probably gets nominated every year?... Founders & Scholomance are complete trilogies, Locked Tomb is an almost complete tetralogy, and Children of Time releases new entries less often... pretty much all the nominees feel worthy here (Except Rivers of London :D )

Could vote for Scholomance in the YA section near the bottom & Travis Baldree over Everina Maxwell in the new writer section...

Making some more detailed posts:

The Novels:
・The Daughter of Doctor Moreau (standalone), by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Del Rey)
・The Kaiju Preservation Society (standalone), by John Scalzi (Tor Books)
・Legends & Lattes (#1), by Travis Baldree (Tor Books)
・Nona the Ninth (Locked Tomb #3), by Tamsyn Muir (Tordotcom)
・Nettle & Bone (standalone), by T. Kingfisher (Tor Books)
・The Spare Man (standalone), by Mary Robinette Kowal (Tor Books)


1) Moreau book -- haven't read -- author named sounded familiar -- it's the Mexican Gothic author -- another book I haven't read... I should try both sometime...

2) Kaiju -- read it, loved it, fun book -- written as a popcorn story during Covid, after a year of writer's block trying to write a darker story under contract

3) Lattes -- read it, loved it, super cozy -- favorite new genre -- also nominated for first book by a new author

4) Nona -- read it, loved it -- more complicated story than others on the list I read

5) Nettle & Bone -- read it, loved it -- classic quirky Kingfisher story with eclectic characters...

6) Spare Man -- haven't read -- been on the fence about reading Kowal books... almost read a few... technically read one I think... The Original was co-written with Sanderson, I think?... mostly know Kowal as a narrator of the October Daye series...

The Novellas:
・Even Though I Knew the End (standalone), by C.L. Polk (Tordotcom)
・Into the Riverlands (Singing Hills #3), by Nghi Vo (Tordotcom)
・A Mirror Mended (Fractured Fables #2), by Alix E. Harrow (Tordotcom)
・Ogres (Terrible Worlds: Revolutions #3), by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Solaris)
・What Moves the Dead (standalone), by T. Kingfisher (Tor Nightfire)
・Where the Drowned Girls Go (Wayward Children #7), by Seanan McGuire (Tordotcom)


1) CL Polk -- haven't read -- never heard of author

2) Into the Riverlands -- read after Emily/Nirkatze this spring -- really liked the style and focus on oral storytelling tradition... thought the 3rd entry was the best, to date...

3) Mirror Mended -- end of the Fractured Fables duology (I think) -- enjoyed it

4) Ogres -- haven't read -- Tchaikovsky seems to release alot of short stories in new worlds, that I haven't had time for... also in alot of styles... I struggled with The Expert System's Brother, when I tried it... need to revisit that one sometime...

5) What Moves the Dead -- another T. Kingfisher -- another one I liked -- House of Usher retelling, set in a fantasy world full of genderqueer characters/nations... sequel coming next year...

6) Where the Drowned Girls Go -- read it, liked/loved it -- I'm a Seanan McGuire superfan... I liked this one, and how it turned the worldbuilding a bit on it's head... my difficulty in voting for this one is that I know I loved the next release even more... guess that's being saved for next year?...

The Series:
・Children of Time Series (#1/3 Children of Time), by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Pan Macmillan/Orbit)
・The Founders Trilogy (#1/3 Foundryside), by Robert Jackson Bennett (Del Rey)
・The Locked Tomb (#1/4 Gideon the Ninth), by Tamsyn Muir (Tor.com)
・October Daye (#1/?? Rosemary and Rue), by Seanan McGuire (DAW)
・Rivers of London (#1/?? Rivers of London), by Ben Aaronovich (Orion)
・The Scholomance (#1/3 A Deadly Education), by Naomi Novik (Del Rey)


This is a hard one

1) Children of Time -- read it, loved it -- read the first book 3 times now, I think... and each one introduces new interesting elements...

2) Founders -- complete trilogy -- re-read the first 2, to read the finale for the first time this Spring -- that finale was quite divisive... I loved it and the concept, and was reminded of a half dozen other books/series... doubt it wins the award, because of divisiveness of the (view spoiler)[utopian (hide spoiler)] ending, tho...

3) Locked Tomb -- read it, loved it -- another I've re-read... read the first book 2-3x, 2nd book 1-2x, and last book once -- another divisive series, because of the difficult POV/narrative structures, but they make complete sense for the story being told, and have huge payoffs -- another less likely to win, I'd say, as a result..

4) October Daye -- read it, loved it -- like I said above, Seanan McGuire superfan... read this series 6 times now?... main reason not to vote for it, is because I feel like it could be on here every year... dunno if Hugo has rules against that... don't generally follow...

5) Rivers of London -- read the first book and abandoned

6) Scholomance -- read it, really liked it... re-read the first book when going back to finish trilogy-- loved the worldbuilding and revelations... probably the one I would vote for...

Like I said on the other thread, I kinda wish this was split into trilogies and ongoing open-ended series...

(Only read Scholomance in the YA section, so skipping)

Astounding Award for Best New Writer:
・Travis Baldree (1st year of eligibility)--Legends & Lattes
・Naseem Jamnia (1st year of eligibility)--The Bruising of Qilwa
・Isabel J Kim (2nd year of eligibility)--(various shorts, could not find a novel)
・Maijia Liu (1st year of eligibility)--Comes Slowly, The Past Is the Best (Chinese)
・Everina Maxwell (2nd year of eligibility)--Winter's Orbit, Ocean's Echo
・Weimu Xin (2nd year of eligibility)--Nebula XI (Chinese)


1) Baldree -- this is my vote
2-4) Haven't read or heard of them
5) Maxwell -- discovered this author during the GR Awards last year, and really liked/loved her 2 books... close 2nd place, but it's hard to beat Legends & Lattes, which I've read twice already...
6) Again, haven't read or heard of...

Would love to hear your thoughts on it... Read and loved it with Vagabond way back in the days when Vagabond actually had time for BRs...

My lists are fairly similar to yours, Iain--but I'm still gonna do a breakdown too.

The Novels:
・The Daughter of Doctor Moreau (standalone), by Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Libby)
Haven't read but would like to--I've read Mexican Gothic and while it was interesting it never hooked me. Would like to give her another chance.

・The Kaiju Preservation Society (standalone), by John Scalzi
Read & loved--first book I read set during COVID and I enjoyed the jokes...

・Legends & Lattes (#1), by Travis Baldree
Also read and loved--I feel like I need to do a reread just to see if my fuzzy happy memories of this are real... this was also one of the first books I did on audio, so I'm not actually sure I retained that much. But it has my heart-vote.

・Nona the Ninth (Locked Tomb #3), by Tamsyn Muir
Read and enjoyed, but didn't love as much as the others. Kind of waiting to see how the whole series as a whole comes across in a picture.

・Nettle & Bone (standalone), by T. Kingfisher
Read and enjoyed, but feel like I didn't get a great grasp on it on audio. Was my first T. Kingfisher.

・The Spare Man (standalone), by Mary Robinette Kowal (Audible)
Really want to read--I've read Kowal's Lady Astronaut series and loved it. If I weren't in BR craziness up to my eyeballs this would be the first book I would try to squeeze in somewhere.

My Vote so far: Legends & Lattes

Novellas
Only one I read was Into the Riverlands (Singing Hills #3), by Nghi Vo so I don'tfeel overly qualified to vote on this yet, but I loved it--I actually still love the first one the most, but #3 is a close second. These novellas are also great in that they are very easily read standalone if anyone did want to just jump in on #3--though they're also super short. I did like this enough that I'd feel comfortable voting for it anyway.

I'm surprised that the new Becky Chambers novellas didn't make the list.

I've heard of all of the other novellas and do want to try to cram them in somewhere... in order of interest...
・Ogres (Terrible Worlds: Revolutions #3), by Adrian Tchaikovsky (No library :( )--seems like even though GR has this as a series, it is more of a series of ideas, rather than a shared universe...
・What Moves the Dead (standalone), by T. Kingfisher (Libby)
・A Mirror Mended (Fractured Fables #2), by Alix E. Harrow (Hoopla has both)
・Even Though I Knew the End (standalone), by C.L. Polk (Libby)
・Where the Drowned Girls Go (Wayward Children #7), by Seanan McGuire (Hoopla has all 7)--only last on the list because I have to get through 6 others to get to this one.

My Vote so far: Into the Riverlands

The Series:
・Children of Time Series (#1/3 Children of Time), by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Pan Macmillan/Orbit)
・The Founders Trilogy (#1/3 Foundryside), by Robert Jackson Bennett (Del Rey)
・The Locked Tomb (#1/4 Gideon the Ninth), by Tamsyn Muir (Tor.com)
・October Daye (#1/?? Rosemary and Rue), by Seanan McGuire (DAW)
・Rivers of London (#1/?? Rivers of London), by Ben Aaronovich (Orion)
・The Scholomance (#1/3 A Deadly Education), by Naomi Novik (Del Rey)

This is a tough one for me. I've read all but the Rivers of London... and I totally agree with Iain--I'd like to see a separate category for completed v. ongoing series. Of the completed series: Founders v. Scholomance, Scholomance wins hands down. Not even an argument. Founders was fun, but doesn't even make my top 50 series. Scholomance probably makes top 20.

Of the incomplete series, I've enjoyed the Locked Tomb but don't love love it like many folks seem to. That may change when it becomes a complete entity, but right now I feel like I'm waiting. October Daye and Children of Time though--I haven't finished Toby yet, but I already really love it. It started a bit slow, but each book I feel I can see the author grow. And it's a lot of fun. Children of Time--each book has been so goooood so far. I also really enjoy the literary inspirations and architecture that has gone into crafting each book. But it definitely doesn't feel finished yet.

Thinking about it, Children of Time is probably going to be one of my top 10 series. Someday. Right now, especially with just how damn well Golden Enclave stuck the landing for Scholomance, I have to go with Scholomance.

My vote for now this year: The Scholomance.

Lodestar Award for YA:
・The Golden Enclaves (Scholomance #3), by Naomi Novik (read)
・ Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak (Unstoppable #2), by Charlie Jane Anders (Hoopla)
・Akata Woman (The Nsibidi Scripts #3), by Nnedi Okorafor (Hoopla)
・ Bloodmarked (Legendborn #2), by Tracy Deonn (Libby, p)
・In the Serpent's Wake (Tess of the Road #2), by Rachel Hartman (#1 Libby, #2?)
・Osmo Unknown and the Eightpenny Woods (standalone?), by Catherynne M. Valente (??)

Only read Golden Enclaves. Honestly, I don't think of these as YA. I am curious about the others, but YA is not my favorite genre...

My vote: Golden Enclaves

Astounding Award for Best New Writer:
・Travis Baldree (1st year of eligibility)--Legends & Lattes
・Naseem Jamnia (1st year of eligibility)--The Bruising of Qilwa (Hoopla)
・Isabel J Kim (2nd year of eligibility)--(various shorts, could not find a novel)
・Maijia Liu (1st year of eligibility)--Comes Slowly, The Past Is the Best (Chinese)
・Everina Maxwell (2nd year of eligibility)--Winter's Orbit, Ocean's Echo
・Weimu Xin (2nd year of eligibility)--Nebula XI (Chinese)

I am very curious about these Chinese authors--and I do kinda wish that there was a worldwide award for SFF... but that'd be pretty tough to organize, wouldn't it? And most languages/countries do have their own awards too. Basically, for me, it comes down to the same as Iain--Maxwell v. Baldree. And it is tough. I really enjoyed both... I think I loved Baldree a bit more, but I'm tempted to vote Maxwell because Baldree should still be eligible this coming year with Bookshops & Bonedust, if it's as good.

My vote for now and a wiffle waffle: Baldree

Hey folks! I have a fun idea! If people vote, I'll keep track, and we can see how our votes compare with the results. ^_^

Hmmm.. Read just two from lists, have one other at home to read in some point soon, rest...Hmmm thinking about one of two, not interested in lots of others.... I agree with you Iain and Zoe - Baldree and Legends&Lattes number 1! Love this book!

Monika wrote: "Hmmm.. Read just two from lists, have one other at home to read in some point soon, rest...Hmmm thinking about one of two, not interested in lots of others.... I agree with you Iain and Zoe - Baldr..."

Shall I add your vote for all the Baldree? ^_^

I put all the Libby books on hold, and Even Though I Knew the End popped up almost right away. Only 3 hours on audiobook, anyone interested in joining me?

Nirkatze wrote: "Monika wrote: "Hmmm.. Read just two from lists, have one other at home to read in some point soon, rest...Hmmm thinking about one of two, not interested in lots of others.... I agree with you Iain ..."

I can start this after Hourglass (tomorrow or later tonight maybe) and still have time to finish the next Galand book (which is looong) before Quantum Currators the 12th.

Yay! I'll do the novella after Hourglass too.

I'll see if I can get it on the cheap/free...

Timelord Iain wrote: "I'll see if I can get it on the cheap/free..."

I subscribe to Scribd and the audio is available. It is 3 hours & 52 minutes long so it'll take you 24 minutes lol

The C.L. Polk story is on my Libby, but not my Hoopla.

LOL I love your math Ann-Marie.

Yes please @Nirkatze :D

I listen at 3x speed, not 7x speed...

Mm, don't worry, you'll get there.

@Monika--added!

I've read all the novels besides The Daughter of Doctor Moreau.. I think I started that a while ago, but didn't get very far and then my library borrow lapsed... I don't think I was very into it though. I've enjoyed others by her, really liked Mexican Gothic!
Voting is tough for me here... Going by my ratings it would be Nona, but I don't like voting for middle of the series on principle... That leaves me Legends or Kaiju. That's a pretty hard decision!

Edit-- I was putting in my tentative votes and I don't want to vote for any of the standalones/first in a series for the novellas, so I'm breaking my principles and voting for in the middle of series lol

The novellas are tough too.. I think I'll try to read the ones I haven't but that means I would have to read a total of 6 novellas... I'll see if they're available though.

I also only read one of the YA.. I'd be willing to read some of them as a BR though.

The new writer definitely goes to Baldree for me! I liked Winter's Orbit, but still haven't read Ocean's Echo....

My tentative votes (may change later):
Novel Nona the Ninth
Novella Into the Riverlands
Series October Daye Be the Serpent
YA The Golden Enclaves
Astounding Baldree Legends & Lattes

I'll just copy Emily's votes... I was leaning that way on most, and the ones I wasn't necessarily, I was just undecided on multiple options for...

Votes updated!!

@Ann-Marie & Ian--I'm starting Even Though I Knew the End!

@Emily--I'm down for trying to squeeze in some of the YA... but they're all series, so a bit more of a commitment. I restructured my initial post in the order of interest/availability. Charlie Jane Anders is first on my list.

The book I'm most interested in trying to squeeze in is The Spare Man. If I can find a spot, I'll probably go for that. And keep trying novellas as they get available.

Even Though I Knew the End a few minutes in... I guess Act 1 Chapter 1. (view spoiler)[Seems like we've got a murder mystery with magic and family troubles so far, fun! I both like and am a bit overwhelmed by the lore dump at the beginning, but you've gotta get that in quick in a standalone novella. Though with this kind of setup--a warlock investigating murders, with I think powers of necromancy?--could easily turn into a series.... if she survives. The three days thing sounds like she knows she's going to die--and ties in with the title. (hide spoiler)]

Finished Even Though I Knew the End

(view spoiler)[I was loving it until the absolute downer of an ending! So now both the siblings are damned to Hell? I was hoping this would be a series because of how much I liked 75% of it but man, they can try to sugar coat it all they want, that ending was not great. (hide spoiler)]

I'll get to that one after I finish my current library. Should start today or tomorrow!

Even Though I Knew the End Act I Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[Getting 40s Noir vibes from the bar scene.

It also reminds me of a scene in Downton Abbey (also 30-40sish, now that I think of it), when a character is introduced to a secret gay night club...) (hide spoiler)]

And then I finished before I posted it. I really enjoyed it. I liked the setting, and the supernatural aspects. Women's rights and LGBT. Even the religious bits were interesting. (view spoiler)[I wasn't as bummed by the ending--maybe because I'm also hoping for a series, but also because I don't believe them when they say they're all damned to Hell. How would they know? Isn't that part of the whole argument the angels were having, where one was saying that they'd had no sign they'd be welcomed back and the other angels promised they'd send postcards, and the first replied with "you lost your faith"? So, the angels don't know what they're talking about, the demons can lie, and the humans don't know jack. Speaking of which, I really liked the angel's spin on LGBT--love is love, it doesn't matter what your plumbing is, and humans are being stupid.

So, I just figured that there's no 100% certainty the characters are going anywhere until they are actually dead and heading there. Until then, their souls are still in play. So as long as there's another book to follow this up, I can forgive the ending. ^^ If there isn't, then yeah, f* that ending. (hide spoiler)]

Trying to decide now if I might want to change my vote. It's hard to judge... I read Into the Riverlands almost a year ago at this point, and they are very different stories.

And finished. I liked it, even with the ending and no followup (view spoiler)[I can always imagine she got out of her bargain again... Never say never :D
And yeah the humans don't know, and obviously the fallen angels aren't infallible either. (hide spoiler)]

Started the Polk book... solid start, easy to follow, exactly the vibe I was hoping for... can almost hear noir detective music in the background...

Might manage a bit more today, but mostly expect to finish tomorrow... taking a break today and watching D&D Chaos on youtube (some one-shot campaigns)... just listening during laundry room breaks...

I reserve the right to revise my opinion if there is a follow-up book lol

Hear hear. Me too, but in the opposite direction. I'm hoping this is one of those "concept test drive" novellas that will turn into a full series.

Finished the novella and loved it... would love for it to become a little novella series...

Between this & Dead Djinn World, and my looming iTunes TBR pile, I'm feeling the desire to go back and finish the Bobby Dollar trilogy, a series about fallen angels...

Probably need to do a re-read, since it's been years since I read the first 2 and barely remember anything...

I went to add the book to my book journal and the cover is absolutely beautiful! Just had to comment on that lol

I own Polk's first series on audio, did you like this one enough to give that one a go? I mean it is a finished series.......

You mean the Polk cover with the bird/moth outlines cutting over the MCs shadows?

Yup, that one.

Just clarifying, because I'm pretty sure Nirkatze is frustrated at me mentioning Bobby Dollar by Tad Williams, and adding another series to her TBR :D

I skipped around the audio of Wolfsong recently after I got the re-release of Ravensong so if we are piling on TBR lists then may I suggest Green Creek????

LOL, yeah, that "no more TBR adding" was aimed at Iain. ^_^

I would be interested in reading Polk's other series at some point, but not at this time. Wolfsong series too.

And didn't realize that Bobby Dollar series is Tad Williams... dammit...

That's okay, I kind of want to read the Adam Binder series by David R Slayton as my next pleasure read. I read book 1 a while back and it had a cliffhanger so I got annoyed and decided to wait until the series was finished and never went back to it lol
