Fun to see "Automatic Noodle" make all three lists this year (Hugo + Nebula + Locus Awards). Biang biang! Now I want a hot piping bowl of hand-pulled, spicy noodles 🍜🤖

I put The Everlasting, by Alix E. Harrow, on hold a while back but I didn't have the time to read it right then so I suspended the hold till the end of April and forgot about it.
Now that it's a #HugoAwards finalist, I went to put a hold on it and the system told me I already had a hold. I've just reactivated it and I am now in position number 1. (Because you climb up the hold list even while suspended.) I feel both guilty and smug.
The Hugo nomination list is out: https://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/2026-hugo-awards/
I already read two of the novels, and a third one is already on my e-reader: that's a better score than last uear. It may also be the first time that I've watched all the "best dramatic presentation, short form" (that won't make the vote easier tho :) )
We’re releasing early today, with a Hugo Awards finalists special! We discuss what ended up on the ballot and give some off-the-cuff remarks about it all. We’re also thrilled to be finalists again: a huge thanks to all who nominated us.
