forestofgloryI've been reading a lot of short stories, to help me fill out my hugo nomination ballot. I've discovered Aliette de Bodard's work which is amazing. The one everyone seems to be talking about is Immersion which is good, but my favorite so far is Scattered Along the River of Heaven
A couple other stories I've enjoyed:
Firebugs by Nina Kiriki Hoffman
Astrophilia by Carrie Vaughn
I've been mostly finding stories by reading things by authors I know I like or for recommendations from bloggers I like. It's not very systematic. I'd love more recs.
I've mostly read all the novels published in 2012 that I'm willing to buy or can get from the library, and I still haven't found anything I'm excited about nominating for the hugo.
I've starting reading the Liaden Universe books. They are romantic space opera. I really like the characters and their relationships, but I find the setting a bit dull. The only bit of technology that seems to make a difference in how people live is space ships. There are some cool turtle aliens though.
So what have your been reading lately?
