Particularily, I&#8217;m interested in <strong>In Great Waters<\/strong> by <a href=\"http:\/\/kitwhitfield.blogspot.com\/\">Kit Whitfield<\/a>, a novel I wasn&#8217;t aware of before it&#8217;s nomination, but that sounds wonderful and which I&#8217;ll be purchasing soon. An equal standout for me is <strong>Blood of Ambrose<\/strong>, but for an opposite reason: <a href=\"https:\/\/aidanmoher.com\/blog\/2009\/06\/reviews\/review-blood-of-ambrose-by-james-enge\/\">I wasn&#8217;t much a fan of Enge&#8217;s novel<\/a>. Best of all, I&#8217;ve got a whole slew of new short fiction to wade through, which is always something to look forward to.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to all those nominated!<\/p>\n<p>Anything in particular stand out from the list for you?
