2020 Locus, Nebula, and Hugo lists

[Silvana]

Ditto, Gabi. There were and are lots of challenges, glitches here and there, and fans screaming for tech help (haha) but you folks were very much appreciated. And you get to add Online convention as a skillset!

[Leonie]

Well....thankfully I had absolutely nothing to do with the online bit, or the tech help, but I have now become a master zoom shuffler, and I'm not bad at reading a script to make sure the right people are in the right place at the right time...mostly. 🤣🤣🤣

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

Great work, Leonie!!

[Oleksandr]

I join in to the thanks to WorldCon activists, you have done a great job!

[Leonie]

I will pass the thanks on.

Yikes, I have only read eleven works from that list.

So glad they have the Best in Creative Nonfiction category.

Thank you for posting this!!

Very nice list. I've read almost nothing on it, but then I usually don't read new releases (trying to change that a bit). Which of the ones you've read did you like best, Silvana?

Hmm....I'll go for:
The Dragon Republic
The Gurkha and the Lord of Tuesday
Omphalos
And Now His Lordship is Laughing (Shiv Ramdas would be a panelist too at FIYAHCon. He's magnificent.)

[Eva]

Thank you!
