The Goblin Emperor was nominated this year, and I believe that's epic fantasy.

Will you be posting them here? <br /><br />I'm doing the same thing over on my blog, and also keeping a running list of things people have recommended to me, so I can get through as many new things as possible before nominations close next year!ciaracathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314237117499417274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-67526889757356510452015-08-26T10:34:44.867-07:002015-08-26T10:34:44.867-07:00I've been tracking my reading for quite a whil...I've been tracking my reading for quite a while on Librarything - the hard part for me is figuring out which ones are new enough to qualify for the Hugos (I read a mix of old and new all the time). But if one blows me away I can research its status and tag it if it's Hugo-nominatable - much easier than trying to figure it all out at nominating time next year. Great idea!<br />Wagner - why aren't those appropriate for the Hugos? Serious question - that's a lot of my reading too.jjmcgaffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546108186137014999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-70490391427687828522015-08-24T19:40:27.132-07:002015-08-24T19:40:27.132-07:00A good idea.

And since I write (or try to write) secondary world/epic style fantasy, a lot of my reading is in that genre. Since it's not really one that's considered appropriate for hugos, I feel like a complete imposter trying to come up with titles to nominate.E.L.
