The Earth Beneath Her Feet. Hugo Awards: Best Novel 2015. Jul 31st, 2015 at 10:42 PM. Months ago, I knew I would have a hard time choosing between The Goblin Emperor and Ancillary Sword. With the Hugo Award voting deadline coming up, I finished The Three-Body Problem this week and found myself with a Three Book Problem that I needed to have a good night's sleep on. 1) The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison. 2) Ancillary Sword - Ann Leckie. 3) The Three-Body Problem - Cixin Liu. Unfortunately, some racist...

The Earth Beneath Her Feet. Hugo Awards 2015: I Don't Have Time To Read This Crap. Jul 31st, 2015 at 11:13 PM. Seriously, I was busy watching the Women's World Cup Football. So, I guess I should be almost grateful to the racist misogynists for poisoning the Hugo ballots with poor quality work as it meant I had a lot less reading to get through. Except by the time I got round to reading the shorter-than-a-novel works, I'd forgotten how pervasive the poison was. Actually, it would get boring if I listed al...

The Earth Beneath Her Feet. USA vs Japan, or, the goalfest known as the FIFA Women's World Cup Final 2015. Jul 6th, 2015 at 2:46 PM. Or, what the hell just happened there? It's as well I couldn't watch the final live because I'd never have gotten to sleep afterward. This match had the extra interest of being a rerun of 2011's final, which Japan won after the USA fell apart in the penalty shootout. Of the whistle blowing. And that was just the start. 5' Why did I bother to close my mouth? The teams didn't...

The Earth Beneath Her Feet. New Year's Resolution - Take Up Your Pens! Jan 14th, 2015 at 11:41 AM. Even though we're halfway through January, this seems like a good day to share the only New Year's resolution I ever made. I'm not sure what sparked it off, but a few years ago I decided to do something on the broad theme of human rights every day. Due to the recent murders in Paris, I'm doing it again, although this time with slightly more focus on freedom of speech matters. Will you join me? It doesn't pa...

The Earth Beneath Her Feet. My Hugo Votes: Best Novelette 2014. Jul 31st, 2014 at 10:08 PM. It's sad to have to employ the No Award Hammer again, but once it's out, it's out. 1) The Waiting Stars. Here De Bodard brings the same high quality space opera that made me vote her into first place last year. The ending has a twist, which I only just saw coming. The Lady Astronaut of Mars. A lovely story about family. What happens when you get your dream, lose it and are offered it back at a high price? It's fun...
