Reading (and ranking) Hugo-nominated works, 2022
This year I decided to read all the written works nominated for the Hugos! Most years I get pretty close since I use the list as a starting point whenever I find myself looking for something new to read, but this was the first year I intentionally decided to read everything. Public libraries are great, especially for books I might not feel strongly enough to buy, and even more especially for novellas, which are expensive to own in print relative to page count! Anyway, here is my unofficial Hugo ballot: Novel 1. A Desolation Called Peace 2. She Who Became the Sun 3. Light from Uncommon Stars 4. Project Hail Mary 5. A Master of Djinn 6. The Galaxy, and the Ground Within Novella 1. The Past is Red 2. A Psalm for the Wild-Built 3. Elder Race 4. Across the Green Grass Fields 5. Fireheart Tiger 6. A Spindle Splintered Novellette 1. L’Espirit de L’Escalier 2. Colors of the Immortal Palette 3. That Story Isn’t the Story 4. Bots of the Lost Ark 5. Unseelie Brothers, Ltd. 6. O2 Arena Short Story...
