That would be interesting!
This year all my 2025 favorites (so far) were actually on the finalist list, but last year none of my favorites were options.

It is! Especially during years when none of your favorite books are finalists.

Also still salty about the Goodreads Choice Awards no longer having write-ins during the opening round.

The Hugo Awards (2026)
As we approach the end of the year, it's a great time to record things you love! Not just for the Hugo Awards, but in general. The rec sheet is a handy resource for nomination, but also at its heart a rec resource in a loud, busy media environment.

Review of The Witch Roads by Kate Elliott | Fantasy Cafe
Review of epic fantasy novel THE WITCH ROADS by Kate Elliott, the first book in a duology that concludes with THE NAMELESS LAND.
Review of THE WITCH ROADS by Kate Elliott, which was a solid book with some great worldbuilding and a protagonist in her thirties with some life experience but also had a lot of journeying and slow pacing.

Screencap of a slice of The Nameless Land cover by Kate Eliott. A woman and a man stand side by side on a dirt road, backs to the viewer, looking into the distance where there's a riverland plain covered by fog. Text selections read: The Witch Roads Book II and "An absolute gem of a story."
Out now over on Lady Business, my (non-spoilery for the second book, not for the first) review of The Nameless Land by Kate Elliott. The Witch Roads duology is complete!

Theodora Goss’s ‘Letters From an Imaginary Country’
Short stories so expertly spun you’ll hardly know you’ve been ensnared.
I'm thrilled and grateful that Cory Doctorow (!!!) read and reviewed my short story collection "Letters from an Imaginary Country." And very glad he liked it. :)

In addition to the giveaway, you can read "Writing as Witchcraft," an essay by Theodora Goss!
"It does not seem a coincidence that the word “spell” means both an enchantment and how to write a word—if you can spell the right words in the right way, you can cast an enchantment over your reader."

While reorganizing my bookshelves, I somehow found the strength to not open books and start reading them, but I compromised by making a list of the ones I wish I could read again for the first time!
