nominating for 2017 Hugos - main fiction post

Probably at least one more followup after this with more artists and possibly more novellas, I have a couple of candidates on request with the library.

Behind the cut if you would rather not be influenced or whatever.
Hugo Nominations for 2017:

Runner up: Necessity, Jo Walton

NOVELLA
A Taste of Honey, Kai Ashante Wilson
This Census-Taker, China Mieville*
Last Days of New Paris, China Mieville**

*I thought this was over 40000 words but Locus thinks it's a novella?
**Locus thinks this one is a novel but one of the other recs sites thinks it's a novella.

I don't know what Splendor & Misery should be nominated for, but it definitely should be nominated for something.
