    Cool! Cherie Priest is nominated and I am currently reading “Boneshaker” (really good). I highly recommend “Dreadful Skin” and “Four and Twenty Blackbirds” by Priest. Paolo Bacigalupi should win this category though. “The Windup Girl” was unbelievable!

    Sorry Lev, you should have been nominated also. I loved “The Magicians”.

    In the middle of The Windup Girl. Awesome.

    @karenga thanks. it would have been nice. >sobs< but I just would have lost to Bacigalupi anyway!
