Carlyn (The Bookworm Mum) (thebookwormmum) | 5 comments This sounds like so much fun, I'm looking forward to seeing what books come up! I find it especially difficult to get good sci-fi recommendations, so I hope to see some here! :)

Nick V. Reys Hi all!

I am Nick from The Paper Dragon and long-time follower of BookTube.
These awards are such a great idea, hosted by some of BookTube's finest :) Loving the setup with the readalongs and stuff! I'll give it some thought and will then nominate 2014's best.

Cheers!

My name is Claudia. These awards are an amazing idea and can't wait to see what happens and which books get shortlisted! I've already done my nominations :D

Ellie May (jarmanmay) | 1 comments Hello everyone! I'm Ellie and I'm an avid SFF /booktube fan. I'm so glad this is happening as I've been very disappointed with the way the Hugos seem to be going. I'll be making my nominations this evening. It's really good to have democratic, bottom-up awards and I look forward to voting and the read-alongs!


message 8: by Matt (new)

Matt Carl (pressenter) | 55 comments Hello, I'm Matt from the Hugos reading group and Booktube Reading Buddies, and I'm happy to see this group, and look forward to the nominations. I am on Twitter, but it's mainly just Goodreads status updates: https://twitter.com/walksuphills


message 9: by Tad (new)

Tad (tottman) | 9 comments Hi. I saw the announcement on SFF180 and I've already submitted my nominees. I'm glad the rules are fairly simple and I really look forward to seeing the nominees.


message 10: by [deleted user] (new)

Hey! Thanks for doing this, people!

I'm Jane, from yesmissjane on youtube. And as I say Hello, let me say that I am fully backing Elizabeth in her call for *SF* nominations, not just fantasy. We of the science fiction faction are calling for action!!!


Rachel (Kalanadi) (kalanadi) | 66 comments I'm Rachel - my channel is Kalanadi.

I'm so excited this is happening! My enthusiasm for the Hugos tanked because of the recent upset, and it'll be great to read nominees I'm really excited about :-)

And I also totally back the call for SF nominations. I love fantasy but it would be great to see more sci fi talked about in the BookTube community.

message 29: by Jill (new)

Jill After a short list like this one, who wouldn't want to join the group? Seriously though, after the farce that has been the Hugos it is really nice to have an awards slate that I'm excited about. Thanks to everyone involved.

JaneymacD | 1 comments Hello everyone, I'm Jane. I've been a SFF fan for as long as I can remember. I love the idea behind these awards (hurrah for democracy!), and this group as an extension. The Short List is quite impressive, I'll be adding those that I haven't yet read to my to-read shelf. I'm looking forward to chatting with you!

Claire Rousseau (clairerousseau) | 5 comments Mod
Hey everyone! I'm Claire, a French nerd living near London & I'm super excited about the awards.

I've raged a lot online about SFF awards-related kerfuffles in the past couple of years and it's a treat to have a new award I feel 100% positive about! I love the shortlist and can't wait to start reading (though I've got a bit of catching up to do as I haven't read some of the series where a second or third book is nominated).

I have a booktube channel that focuses on genre fiction over at http://t.co/118VPAP2lt and I'm planning to do reviews for all the nominees if I can find the time!


message 36: by Elisabeth (new)

Elisabeth (elbakken) Hi everyone! My name is Elisabeth, I'm Norwegian and I plan to read along for at least some of the titles on this list. (Don't think I'll have time to catch up on the series unfortunately.)

I'm a list-geek in addition to being a book-geek, so this suits me fine ;)

No booktube-channel (yet?), but I do have a book blog where I review both genre fiction and other books as well.


message 37: by Leonela (new)

Leonela (biblioenconstruccion) | 1 comments Hi there! I'm Leonela and I'm from Argentina. I'm a Literature student who reads a lot and wants to read more Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I talk about books here and I just talk about books and all things geeky on Twitter (@classicsOTS). I'm really looking forward to discuss the nominations and get to know all of you. Thank you to all the amazing people who is working so hard for these awards to happen <3


message 38: by Wendy (new)

Wendy (readandpurl) | 5 comments Hello everyone! I haven't introduced myself yet. I was unsure about joining at first, mainly because I'm such a slow reader & wasn't sure I'd get much reading done, but once the short list was announced I decided screw it I'm joining. I'm excited about a majority of the list.


message 39: by Derek (last edited Jul 27, 2015 04:54PM) (new)

Derek Bailey (drock5400) | 27 comments Hello to everyone. I'm a book blogger, indie author, and general book lover that's super excited about these awards and even more stoked to read some of these books since a lot of them I have never even heard of. I can't wait to do the readalongs in August for The Martian which I recently picked up and hopefully Rat Queens depending on if i get it in time to keep up with the discussion. I don't get a ton of time to read and have even less of an oppurtunity to talk about books so I'm feeling like this will be a great several months of reading for me!

I can't wait for the read-a-longs - although I started early cause my August is busy with trips and family coming over (I live miles miles away from them). Too much information? Sorry. I ramble a lot!

George (georgefromny) | 1 comments Hello, I'm George and I'm an undercover Sad Puppy operative. Wait... Forget that part.



Ah, humor. I am George, though, a keen reader of SFF albeit woefully behind in my progress thereof. I know Thomas from outside Goodreads and his own YT series, from the which I have discovered and come to enjoy many others.

And I never resort to puns. Just ask Thomas.
