Nebulas got won!

The Nebulas got awarded, you can read the whole list here.

Novel: Annihilation beat Goblin Emperor, Ancillary Sword, and Three-Body Problem, which I suppose is one more indication I should read it.

Novella: a Nancy Kress novella I haven't read beat Swirsky's "Grand Jete".

Novelette: Alaya Dawn Johnson's "Guide to the Fruits of Hawai'i", which was very good but I think I failed to ever review, beat a bunch of stuff I had read that I wasn't crazy about. Yay for Johnson! I'm kind of in love with her as a writer for Summer Prince and as I read more of her stuff she seems like someone who will always have something interesting to say. Go read this story, it's so good: A Guide to the Fruits of Hawai'i.

AND she won the Norton for Love Is The Drug! I still haven't read most of the other Norton nominees and I wasn't crazy about Love Is The Drug - I think the near-future thriller just isn't my fave genre - but I certainly can't be sad about that outcome.

Short Story: Ursula Vernon for "Jackalope Wives"!! Man, talk about richly deserved! I loved this story (as you have heard before if you've been following my Hugo reccing). Nice work, Nebula people!
