The Drowning Girl is doing well. It seems a must read.
I still like how Locus split the various categories!
The Locus nominees look an enjoyable lot.Locus always seems to be one of the less pretentious awards,with lighter,accessible choices,with some lighter,fun reads.Their YA choices in particular are always excellent.
I see a fair amount of overlap with other awards, though I suppose that’s usually the case! This also reminds me that I really need to get around to reading Caliban’s War. the next one is coming out soon, I think. So many books, so little time.
I wish the Hugo would separate SF, fantasy, and YA novels like this.
I guess someone forgot to tell the Seanan McGuire fans about the Locus poll…
And if anyone is interested in non-fiction, the Locus “best non-fiction” nominees are much more interesting than the Hugo “best related work” nominees this year.
