Winners

Locus Award winners. My favorite is Jo Walton's delightful What Makes This Book So Great, which along with a bunch of other deserving books was elbowed off the Hugo ballot by a slate including a collection of tweets by a guy who took advantage of the Charleston shootings to demonstrate that he can't even manage to be funny when he's being hateful and bigoted. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Thanx to Tor.com.
