Want to follow what’s new and exciting in the world of science-fiction and fantasy? Need help deciding what to read next? Planning to move to a different planet and would like to read stories set on other planets to help you prepare?
Then join us at 7pm Eastern on July 31st for our non-affiliated Hugo Awards evening, when a panel of Science-fiction and Fantasy readers will each talk about one of the shortlisted titles in the Best Novel category of the 2020 Hugo Awards!
- The City in the Middle of the Night, by Charlie Jane Anders (Tor; Titan) – reviewed by Trevor Brierly
- Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir (Tor.com Publishing) – reviewed by Kris Swank
- The Light Brigade, by Kameron Hurley (Saga; Angry Robot UK) – reviewed by Sparrow Alden

- The Ten Thousand Doors of January, by Alix E. Harrow (Redhook; Orbit UK) – reviewed by Brenton Dickieson
Each reviewer will take five minutes to introduce their novel and talk about what they liked or didn’t like about it. We will then open up for a wider discussion, taking questions and comments from the audience.
The audience will then vote on which novel they most want to read, and which they think should win the prestigious Best Novel Hugo Award. The actual winner will be announced at CoNZealand, shortly after our event!
