There is no way that I could get half-way through WoT by the end of the month, let alone finish it, so I am ignoring it. Ancillary Justice will get my first place vote, Neptune's Brood or Warbound will get 2nd and 3rd, followed by Parasite, which I thought was OK, but didn't like the ending.
I've read most of the material in the Campbell award packet, plus the sequels by Chu and Naam not in the packet. I tried starting Sofia Samatar's novel, but it started out really wordy, and I only got a chapter or two in (not necessarily a bad novel, just slow starting). I think Gladstone's magic and economic system is quite original, so I'm leaning towards him first, followed by Naam and Chu (first year of eligibility). I think I'm going to try to get all of the professional awards nominees read in the next two weeks if I can, but I might have problems making time for the related works, as usual. Even so, I probably won't read more than snippets of the related works.
