Hey, look! More books and ARCs! Who’d’ve thought? If you see something here you have an interest in, tell us all in the comments. We want to know.

In the “novella” category. I’m super pleased.

Here are the other finalists in the category:

• The Lost Child of Lychford, Paul Cornell (Tor.com Publishing)
• The Dream Quest of Vellitt Boe, Kij Johnson (Tor.com Publishing)
• Hammers on Bone, Cassandra Khaw (Tor.com Publishing)
• The Ballad of Black Tom, Victor LaValle (Tor.com Publishing)
• Every Heart a Doorway, Seanan McGuire (Tor.com Publishing)
• This Census-taker, China Miéville (Del Rey; Picador)
• The Iron Tactician, Alastair Reynolds (NewCon)
• Pirate Utopia, Bruce Sterling (Tachyon)
• A Taste of Honey, Kai Ashante Wilson (Tor.com Publishing)

That’s a very excellent field for the category, with many wonderful writers. I’m honored to have my work among them.

Here’s a link to the entire slate of finalists in all categories. Congrats to everyone! This is a very fine way to start the weekend.

Not graduation day; don’t let the robes fool you. Senior day is the day the seniors are handed out their awards and scholarships, take their final class pictures, and then are dismissed until graduation day, two weeks hence. Technically Athena has already graduated — she finished up a semester early — but she’s walking with her classmates because why wouldn’t you. It’s a last hurrah for Bradford Class of 2017. These two, at least, seem happy about it.
