NESFA® 2007 Hugo Recommendations

4 May 2008 — mlo

NESFA continues to maintain a list of Good Stuff to read. Any NESFA member who reads something that they would like to recommend to others to be considered for a Hugo nomination can add it to the list. We will publish it from time to time in Instant Message and on the nets. (Feel free to reproduce it provided you reproduce it intact!) It’s neither definitive nor complete, but it contains the stories, novels and non-fiction works that a bunch of well-read fans feel may be worthy of a Hugo nomination.

These are items published in 2007 and eligible for the Hugos to be presented at Denvention 3, Aug. 6-10, 2008, in Denver. Here’s the list for 2006 and the list for 2008. For more about the Hugos, see theHugoAwards.com.
