Locus List!
Feb. 1st, 2019 08:58 amHere is the link to it. Always interesting to see what does and doesn't make the Locus list.
Here's how my probable nominees so far fared:
Novels: Spinning Silver, Blackfish City, and Semiosis are all here, but not Circe.
Novellas: yes Black God's Drums (yay!) and Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach, but no Binti 3! Huh, that's a surprise! (Also may I note that of 13 novellas I've read 7 of them and am currently reading an 8th, I believe I may claim the "on top of novellas this year" merit badge.)
Novelettes: I don't have an actual shortlist yet but no "What Is Eve?", doh.
Short Stories: Ditto but no "Octo-Heist In Progress", alas.
Series: No State Tectonics, boo.
YA: Tess of the Road and Cross Fire, but no Empress of Timbra. (Am I actually going to personally nominate Tess of the Road on the grounds of believing it should be nominated even though I don't, like, personally feel like the person who needs to see it get nominated? Maybe?)
