Hugo Nominations are out, and oof, I don’t think I could pick Best Novel from this bunch! Besides, I know three of the authors, one of them might beat me up if I favor the others.
- Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi (Tor)
- Anathem by Neal Stephenson (Morrow; Atlantic UK)
- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (HarperCollins; Bloomsbury UK)
- Little Brother by Cory Doctorow (Tor Teen; HarperVoyager UK)
- Saturn’s Children by Charles Stross (Ace; Orbit UK)
The comics category is equally tough, with Fables and Y: The Last Man‘s conclusion both up as well as Girl Genius Volume 8, which isn’t actually quite out yet in book form, which means that a webcomic is nominated this year!
Oh, and Dr. Horrible in the Short Form Dramatic category.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
You should blatantly pick my cousin, as he blows the competition out of the water!
Solidarity rules OK,

Which one of them is your cousin? 🙂
I’m halfway through The Graveyard Book and so far it’s fantastic. It is a book which is far too easy to relate to, especially considering it’s about a child raised in a graveyard!
And who else could get away with a character called ‘Nobody Owens’ …
One might beat you up? That’s Neil Gaiman isn’t it? I assume Doctorow is too distracted in his hot air balloon.
Neil & Neal are the two I don’t know! Charlie, Cory & John are all quite pugnacious. 😉
