(One of the Dresden books was also nominated, but as part of the Puppy slate. I wonder how it would have fared without their backing.)Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-59586520837612950702015-08-24T05:30:53.863-05:002015-08-24T05:30:53.863-05:00I don't put much stock in the Hugos because th...I don't put much stock in the Hugos because the winning books are never really that good.
