Brian NisbetWent to see <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Mickey17" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mickey17</a> today. Really, really good film.

High on my nominations list for next year's <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/HugoAwards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HugoAwards</a> for sure.

The Awards were first presented in 1953 and have been awarded every year since 1955 by the members of the World Science Fiction Society (Worldcon members) at the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon). Eligible Worldcon members are encouraged to nominate up to five works/individuals that they believe are worthy of a Hugo Award in each category. The six most popular nominees in each category then appear on the final voting ballot, with the winners being announced at a formal ceremony to be held in Seattle on the evening of Saturday, August 16th. Full voting results will be published at that time. <a href="https://seattlein2025.org/author/seattleworldcon2025/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seattle Worldcon 2025</a> <a href="https://seattlein2025.org/2025/02/10/hugo-nominations-are-open/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://seattlein2025.org/2025/02/10/hugo-nominations-are-open/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://seattlein2025.org/tag/hugo-awards/" target="_blank">#HugoAwards</a>

JenniferI got a copy of Nettle and Bone last year because it won the Hugo and I like to read the winning books. I just finished it. Although I enjoyed it, it wasn't spectacular or something I'll think about after. For me, this kind of illustrates the problems with the Hugos last year. <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a> <a href="https://bookstodon.com/tags/HugoAwards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HugoAwards</a>
