I finished this volume of 5 comics from my 2021 Hugo Voter Packet and really enjoyed this new version of Spider Woman. Seanan McGuire's prolificness and versatility amaze me. She has nominations in Best Novella, Best Series and Best Graphic Work this year!

This full-length novel from the Murderbot series deserves its Hugo Best Novel nomination. The non-human characters are the most interesting ones in this excellent space opera series. #hugo2021 #hugoawards

This Hugo Best Novella nominee by Sarah Gailey is a very fun read! It features a group of subversive queer librarians in an Old West setting. #hugoawards #hugo2021

I'm currently at 5 hours and 40 minutes for the #20in4 readathon. I hope to read a bit more tonight, but my family is being very noisy, watching the Toronto-Montreal NHL playoff game ! 😄

@Andrew65

Andrew65 Good progress 👏👏👏 3y
