After such a long wait, I was still so excited to see who would take home the rockets today. I had to wait a bit longer due to technical difficulties, but I still love watching the ceremony life. Especially one as good as this one, which was concise and flowed well. The hosts Andrea Hairston …

Hugo Novella Nominees 2021
Novellas are a fun category; they're pretty much novels, but I can get through them quicker. Tor Books's online magazine Tor.com have put out great novellas and in recent years and dominated this category. This is especially noticeable this year, as all six finalists are Tor.com novellas.

The Last Hugo Award 2020 Post: The Stats
So, I was looking at the stats on this year's Hugo Awards, and noticed some interesting things that I wish I'd thought to work into my main post about the ceremony. The big revelation is that Ann Leckie's fantasy novel The Raven Tower received enough votes to make it onto the ballot, but Leckie declined the nomination. …
2020 Hugo Award Winners Announced
I watched the Hugo Awards this morning. I do every year, but with Covid-19 things were quite a bit different this year. Obviously, there was not a live ceremony in Wellington as originally planned. The entire Worldcon this year was a virtual event, and this morning George R. R. Martin hosted the Hugo Award ceremony …
