Congrats to Hugo Nominees

Because I'm attending Worldcon this year, I am keeping a closer eye on the Hugo nominee list because I will actually be voting this year. What's thrilling is to see names of people whom I've met and liked, in addition to the usual suspects. So, more for myself than for others, a list of people for whom I am personally excited b/c their works have been acknowledged by nominations this year:

Congrats to all Hugo and Campbell Awards Nominees, but especially:

• Seanan McGuire, aka Mira Grant, for Feed for Best Novel
