1. Try to name up to five spec fic novels released in 2010-2011.

The Dervish House by Ian ... McDiarmid?
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms ~ NK Jemisin
Who Fears (?) Death ~ Nnedi O (I can't remember how to spell her surname.)
The one by Paolo Bagucigalpa - is he Spring-Heeled Jack? They're all starting to mix about in my head now. :P
Zoo City ~ Lauren Beukes

EDIT: You know, I'm not really sure why I didn't include Sam Sykes or Gail Carriger in here. Or The Quantum Thief.


2. What about up to five spec fic anthologies?

Real: Unreal 3 was last year, right?

3. Can you identify without looking it up at least two of the Hugo nominees for Best Novel?

NK Jemisin and Nnedi O were both nominated, I think. Was the Dervish House as well? And Zoo City by Lauren Beukes (did that win, or did it win the Nebula? She won something big recently...)

4. What about the Nebula Award?

Jemisin again. Mira Grant's Feed, I think. Um.

5. Do you feel that you are relatively well-informed on spec fic novels, especially the newer ones?

Much more than I used to be because of Twitter.

6. Which authors (or genre categories) would you like to know more about?

I really want to read Zoo City, and Nnedi's books look really interesting. I've also enjoyed what little Steampunk I've read (mostly Carriger) so I want to read more of that.

7. Which spec fic-oriented blogs can you name and/or have visited?

Again, these are because of Twitter:
- The Ranting Dragon
- Floor to Ceiling Books
- A Dribble of Ink

Twitter is a nice tool at times, I'll admit Larry - 13/05/2011 12:10:46 AM 655 Views

I usually know what is out; it just takes me a while to read it Ellestra - 15/05/2011 07:23:05 PM 1043 Views
