2014 Hugo Awards finalists have been announced on April 19, 2014. 1923 valid nominating ballots for the 2014 Hugo Awards were received, last year it was 1343. 2014 Hugo Awards will be presented at Loncon 3, London on August 17, 2014. You can check the details via Hugo Awards official post.
And here are the finalists. I’ve only heard two books from novel finalists and they are Parasite and The Wheel of Time. This years lists seems to be interesting and will effect the number of books in my to-read list. Also you can check the full lists and the details via 2014 Hugo Awards page.
In his blog Joe Abercrombie has shared his thoughts on the Hugo Awards and posted this in his facebook page.
There’s been an awful lot said of late around the internet about the Hugo awards. I simply didn’t feel I could remain silent on the subject any longer. -Joe Abercrombie
