I love nominating for the Hugos – it makes me feel like a part of the community, and gives me a chance to support the authors/storytellers whose work I love. The next month and change is going to be rather hectic (at least it looks that way on the calendar), so I put in my nominations this afternoon. Short Story was hard this year – my short list had more than 3x as many titles as voters are allowed to nominate in the category.

Highlights/for your consideration:

• Novel
  • A Memory Called Empire, by Arkady Martine
  • Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir
  • Avatar, The Last Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi, by F.C. Yee (also my Lodestar nom)
  • Edges, by Linda Nagata
• Novella

  • Glass Cannon, by Yoon Ha Lee
• Novelette
  • While Dragons Claim The Sky, by Jen Brown
  • The Rat King of Spanish Harlem, by Nicky Drayden

  • The Mandalorian
  • The Expanse s4
  • Captain Marvel
  • Us

  • Chapter 8: Redemption (The Mandalorian)
