I learned a few years back that the Hugo Award that you see on the cover of some books is actually a very different kind of award than most.
Works are nominated and voted on by people like you and me. In fact, right now you can go become a voting member of the Hugo Awards and have a say on who wins each category this year. I've really enjoyed reading the nominated works and casting my vote for the past several years.
It's a great way to discover novels and shorter form stories that you may not have otherwise known about.
Special shout out to Catherynne M. Valente for writing something I love almost every year!
I’ve been consistently using the Hugo Award to discover new books and I’ve never been disappointed! (Obviously, I select the books that appeal to me the most, but it’s a really good track record )
