Hugo Nominations

[selenite0]

As a voter for last year's Hugos I may nominate for this year's. Here's my ballot so far. I may be adding some more as I find ones I like amid the discussions and flames. The Martian's eligibility is disputed, though there's precedent for it with Old Man's War.

Sometimes Mark just reads things, without writing up a commentary. That's what he did with Pat Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, all 4 books [& also several short stories from her collection _Book of Enchantments_]. You might enjoy those, too.
