2020 Hugo Nomination Recommendations

this was truly my favorite book of 2019 and it's really great science fiction

this is the first alliance a union novel in many years and I think it's one of the better ones as well as more accessible than some of the older ones in that universe

most of my recommendations for this category are my favorite books of 2019 that were published in 2019

Atlas alone by Emma Newman which continues her really wonderful planetfall series

another of my favorite books of 2019 was children of ruin by Adrienne Tchaikovsky this is the sequel to children of time and I think it was just as good

gods of jade and shadow is a work of fantasy that I think truly deserves to be nominated for this particular category

another one of my top favorite pieces of short fiction of 2019 is the haunting of tramcar 15 by PG le Clerc I love his writing but I also love the fantasy steampunk world of this

an absent dream by Sean and McGuire which i think is one of the best of the way where children novel is so far

Miranda in Milan by Kathryn Duquette which is kind of a querying of Shakespeare

I don't think this is the absolute best in this particular novella series but I do think it was really good and one of the standout novel is of the year for me

this is a middle grade graphic novel it's the third and possibly final book in this series and it is delightful

then there are two books that almost made my best of 2019 list one of them is TMS wrath by James sa Corey
