Lists of novels and short fiction by women that have been shortlisted by awards other than the Hugo (or made the Locus Recommended Reading list). In an entirely unrelated story, voting for the Locus Poll, in which anyone can vote, closes tomorrow. (And apparently there’s some YA you should be considering, too.)
And finally: the funniest review of His Majesty’s Dragon you will see for a while. (Key quotes: “I actually suspending reading Schismatrix to read this, if you can believe it”; “Honestly, this isn’t really a fantasy book. It’s an alternative history novel”; “I can see why the voters nominated it for a Hugo after all.”)
