Loncon 3 - The 72nd World Science Fiction Convention"
I keep forgetting I did have a book out in 2013 -- Sidelines: Talks and Essays which, if I understand the new rules correctly, actually would be eligible in the "related works" category even though it's a self-published e-book.
http://www.amazon.com/Sidelines-Essay...
Also in the iTunes and Nook stores. The "Look Inside" feature permits a preview.
So what all have you read this year that you think is Hugo-worthy?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ancillary Justice gets a nod.

Winner: Ancillary JusticeNominations:
Human Division
The Ocean at the end of the lane
Abbadon's gate
I will be pretty shocked if Ann Leckie doesn't win the John Campbell.
Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. No doubt other nominations will be great too, but honestly, this probably isn't even a contest this year (only IMHO).
I'll be surprised if Wheel of Time doesn't get a nomination for the final book or the series as a whole, since the last installment of the story was published in 2013.
Award systems, especially annual ones, tend not to have a good way of handling series. Academia does not seem to know what to do with series as an art form, either. (I theorize that the latter is because while it is just barely possible to get a class of undergrads to read and compare several novels in a semester, it is quite impossible to make them read and compare several series in a semester.)Ta, L.
