Congratulations to all the Hugo Award winners & nominees of the 2022 Hugo Awards ceremony held last night in Chicago at the 80th WorldCon science fiction convention. I was really hoping that “Light From Uncommon Stars” by Ryka Aoki would win for the best novel, but it was not meant to be, I guess. To be fair, I have not yet read “A Desolation Called Peace” by Arkady Martine! I have checked it out from the library, and it’s my next read. It is a great honor to be nominated or win at the Hugos, so again, congrats to all!
