It looks like this year is shaping up to be one of those years where I'll have read enough new SF novels to have opinions about Hugo nominations. My current rankings of 2024 novels:

1. The Book of Love by Kelly Link
2. The Bright Sword ◇ by Lev Grossman
3. Lady Eve's Last Con * by Rebecca Fraimow
4. The Familiar ◇ by Leigh Bardugo
5. Magical Meet Cute ◇ by Jean Meltzer
6. The Bezzle ◇ by Cory Doctorow


* Jews dance in this novel
◇ Seriously, why don't Jews dance in this novel ?!?

I may write up some of these in more detail, ask if you're curious about any in particular.
