question about this group

[Kateblue, 2nd star to the right and straight on til morning]

I was wondering . . . this group is to read Hugo and Nebula award winners &/or nominees. But I believe that Farmer in the Sky (which I would love to read again) is not one. Heinlein won 4 times (Double Star, Stranger, Moon is a Harsh Mistress and I think Starship Troopers.) But he never won for any of his juveniles, I believe.

So, is this a group for reading books by authors who have won a Hugo or Nebula? Or is it for the actual books themselves? I don't really care which, I just would like to know for future nomination purposes.

Hi Kate and welcome to the group!

That is a fine question that needs a bit of explaining. " Farmer in the Sky" is a Hugo winner, however it was rewarded retrospectively, therefore everyone calls those Retro Hugos. I've made a post about it a while back: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... . You can read how the whole thing works, the rules are rather simple.

If it helps, I was planning to make a list of all the Retros. Will take a few days though.

Forgot to mention one thing, just to make it perfectly clear. Retro Hugos are full-fledged Hugos, it's just how they are awarded that is different.
