The Hugo award nomination period is starting up soon and I must admit that I've not read many new books in 2011. The new ones I did read, are not ones that I'd consider nominating (though I did enjoy them). Anyone have any suggestions for something I should read before I decide what to nominate?

There is no interpersonal problem in The Wheel of time series that cannot be resolved with a vigorous spanking.

So no one read anything good in 2011? Sad.

She is obviously descendant from both Rhea's of antiquity, and her, along with Sharmad are the first two of Wil al'Seen's three women we have seen. In aMoL, after Rand is finally denounced as the last false Dragon, Wil shall rise up in his place - which is the only true way the books can be read. [/Felix]

Dance with Dragons should win it. Probably won't since the Hugo's are so dumb, but it should.

I read ADWD. I don't intend to nominate it. I enjoyed reading it, but I don't feel like it advanced the genre. That said, I intend to nominate at least one episode of the TV adaption for a Best Dramatic Presentation (short form).

That book isn't eligible. I actually got a copy of it in my Hugo voter packet last year. Lev won the Campbell Award, so he was included with the other nominees.
In other news, apparently you have good taste.
